Changes against validation rules
Problem description
Whenever a user makes changes in the datagrid against validation rules there is no automatic reassessment of data to inform the user that there are errors (validation only occurs when uploading the file).
On the other hand, it is not possible to click on the button to re-run validation manually
Steps to reproduce it
- Open the ODE.
- Upload tabular data.
- Try to add text in an integer column, remove text from a cell or type a number on a text cell (cell will be highlighted in yellow).
- Wait to see if data is validated after changes.
- Click Validate.
Suggested solution
- The ODE should allow the user to revalidate data. This can be done in an automatic way or by manually clicking on the Validate button.
See issues #348 and #398
The ODE seems to reassess validation when the user changes the type of data on the metadata panel.
Steps to reproduce it
- Open the ODE.
- Go to ADD---FILE (open a tabular data file)
- Click on the METADATA button (top menu of the datagrid).
- Go to Schema section.
- Change the column type.
The ODE will reassess validation
We need to document this (add it to the user guide)
