Show regular name of scientific metadata items

Open jl-wynen opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The 'Name' column in the scientific metadata table shows human_readable_name. This is pretty but makes it more difficult and confusing to access metadata programmatically.

E.g., I expected that I could just copy-paste the name from the frontend into a Python script. But that leads to an error. I then had to search through the entire list of keys after downloading the dataset to find the one that I need.

If you want to show a nice name, it would be good to also show the 'actual' name of metadata items.

The most obvious solution would be to stop using the human_readable_name feature. 🤷

Or maybe the json key should be shown on mouseover?
