Resource-level context-sensitive schemas

[jqnatividad]

Is there a way to implement context-sensitive resource fields - e.g. a user selects CSV format for a resource, and it has certain resource fields, which is different if a user selects PDF format?

I think the best way to do that is by adding a JS resource to the resource form and use it to clear and hide other specific fields based on the format value.

Thanks @wardi for the quick feedback. Any plans on implementing a resource_type key (similar to dataset_type) to scheming with the supporting JS logic?

[wardi]

no but it could be done in a separate plugin. The trouble with putting it into scheming is it's hard to know how to clear custom form fields, but the benefit is we could define some standard hooks that people extending scheming could use.
