Type of dataset during creation can decide other form elements

Open ckotwn opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

This is a feature request from observing trainees hands-on IPT during the BIFA workshop this year.

When creating a dataset, one should select a type and click create.

To avoid logical errors such as selecting occurrence type but then use event as the core mapping, the type field should dictate available core mappings to choose from. This can prevent errors at the early stages of data publishing.

If the dataset type is changed in the 'Basic Metadata', available options in core mapping drop-down should change as well. If a core mapping is already done and is not of the new selected dataset type, a warning will present.

Thank you for the suggestion @ckotwn That makes sense indeed and may prevent publishers from errors. What do you guys think @timrobertson100 @MattBlissett ?
