To me more specific, beside the existing fields (such as description, copyright, licence etc.) I would like to add additional fields to a collection, such as language, geographical coverage, keywords etc.
I investigated the workflow and seem that all ends into the administrative.js cocoon workflow where is called FlowContainerUtils.processEditCollection(getDSContext(), collectionID, false, cocoon.request); The method processEditCollection(..) contains hard-coded name of database table columns. I was wondering if it's there's any mean to override the behavior via a plugin that intercepts processEditCollection event? As, for now I am thinking to just override EditCollectionMetadataForm class to customize the form and hack into the administrative.js, but this would be an ugly mess (thinking for future dspace updates). Btw, using dspace 1.8.0.
