Sample registration without template

[jjkoehorst]

We are using highly dynamic sample templates which each user can expand upon. Now SEEK works according to predefined sample templates but I was wondering if there is a way to set up a minimal set of fields and that all the other fields can be dynamically added based on the excel template that we are currently using.

The functionality you describe looks very similar to what is being developed for DataHub (ELIXIR-BE instance of FAIRDOM-SEEK). We call the minimal set of fields a "Template". We aim at having Templates for Sample Types. By applying a Template, a user creates a Sample Type with the Attributes as defined in the Template. The user should, however, be able to add new fields to the resulting Sample Type (in addition to the the fields present in the chosen Template). Here is a recent PR to start adding this type of functionality. Here is one of the issues involving the development of DataHub templates.
