remove instruction and description fields from field based and metadata description exports
Since the instruction and description field types don't require (or allow) input from users, it seems unnecessary for these to be exported (the label [and fieldname] can be an entire sentence or two). It's easy to just delete those columns, though, so it’s not that that important.
To reproduce this for field-based transcription,
- Create a collection
- Change the transcription type to Field-Based
- Add a field of each data type
- Import a work
- Transcribe a page of the work, filling in values for each field, and save
- Click the Export tab
- Export Tables/Fields
- Inspect the spreadsheet created for the page; note that the fields of type Instruction and Description both have columns, even though they do not contain user-created data
To reproduce this for metadata projects,
- Edit a collection
- Enable Metadata Description
- Edit metadata fields
- Add a field of each data type
- Click on a work
- Press "create metadata"
- Fill in values for each field and save
- Click the Export tab
- Export Work Metadata
- Inspect the spreadsheet created for the page; note that the fields of type Instruction have columns, even though they do not contain user-created data
