Create metadata for manual vs programmatic update

Open mcarans opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Each HDX object eg. dataset, resource, visualization (gallery item) should have a flag which indicates if it was updated manually or programmatically.

I like the idea, but we need to discuss more how to implement + research to check if there is an existing ckan extension. @cjhendrix @takavarasha @alexandru-m-g what do you think?

Would this be an additional field to revision objects that are created whenever on object is updated?

What I'm wondering is if we couldn't make this part of a bigger feature: an improved activity stream. That would a hold the log of exactly what happened to a dataset/resource. One of the information in the activity stream/log could be also how (UI vs API) it was updated.

Such a feature would be great. Just to be clear, does it mean being very specific anout the change that was made. For example, to be able to tell that the user changed to title from yyy to zzz?

Perhaps this should be rolled into https://github.com/OCHA-DAP/hdx-ckan/issues/4112
