Tim Donohue reassigned DS-674:
------------------------------
Assignee: Peter Dietz
This issue was discussed during Developer Meeting on Jan 26, 2011.
Agreed that this is not the best way for the form to react. JQuery (or
something similar) may allow us to modify the form dynamically rather than
always reloading the whole page. Peter Dietz (OSU) volunteered to look at
this, as they are working on usability of submission interfaces as OSU.
Full discussion thread follows:
[20:15] <tdonohue> Add and Remove Selected actions on individual metadata
fields have an effect on the whole form :
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-674
[20:16] <tdonohue> DS-674 seems like another area the something like jQuery
could potentially be helpful (rather than reloading the whole page)
[20:17] <PeterDietz> I think we need to work on a submissions API then
[20:17] <tdonohue> what are others thoughts here?
[20:17] <mhwood> The current behavior is incorrect and surprising.
[20:18] <tdonohue> what do you mean by "submissions API", PeterDietz? is this
Java? Javascript?
[20:18] <PeterDietz> re: incorrect/surprising: especially if you checkmark a
checkbox, then click next.. it deletes anything that was checkmarked
[20:18] <tdonohue> ugh
[20:19] <tdonohue> PeterDietz, is this something you all are working on at OSU?
I recall you mentioning you are doing usability work with submissions
interfaces?
...<snip - cutting out other side discussions that took place>..
[20:31] <PeterDietz> I'll take DS-674 I'm somewhat working on it.. We'll need
to reach a consensus on lang issues.. otherwise I'll commit to 1.7.x with
hardcoded values, and trunk with messages-lang keys

> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2
> Environment: demo.dspace.org XMLUI
> Reporter: Bram Luyten (@mire)
> Assignee: Peter Dietz

>
> In the Describe Item step, each metadata field for which multiple occurences
> are allowed, is enhanced with an "Add" button.
> Pressing the add button effectively takes the information, already completed
> in the field, stores it, and makes the text fields empty again.
> The problem is that pressing an "add" button for one field, will effectively
> store ALL of the provided values for fields that can have multiple occurences.
> Same goes for "Remove Selected". Although each of the metadata fields has a
> separate "Remove Selected" button (making you expect that pressing it will
> only affect that particular metadata field), pressing one of the buttons will
> effectively remove all of the metadata values in the whole form (given the
> fact that their checkbox is marked).
> Solution:
> For the Remove selected button: just have one of these buttons on top/bottom
> of the form, or change the behaviour that it only removes the particular
> field.
> For the add button: ensure that it only works on the field it's placed next
> to.
