Jim Ottaviani commented on DS-996:
----------------------------------
If I understand this correctly, the metadata will still display, along with a
withdrawal reason. (Where will that reason appear?) If so, then I agree with
all the comments above that getting tombstone functionality in there, even if
it's simplified, is the right thing to do.
As Richard points out, withdrawing an item is a rare enough occurrence that the
need for an administrator to go in and tweak/rewrite a metadata field to
over-ride the default message is not a big deal. On a side-note, I agree with
Tim that leaving the withdrawal metadata in place if an item gets reinstated is
not ideal, even if only an administrator can see it. That now-defunct tombstone
should, however, be captured so that administrators can track all activities on
the item e.g. via a provenance field. (That may already be happening
automatically -- I can't remember how DSpace out-of-the-box handles this!)
> Add optional reason text to tombstone page

>
> Key: DS-996
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-996
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JSPUI
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Richard Rodgers
> Assignee: Richard Rodgers
> Attachments: handle-servlet.patch, msgs.patch, tombstone.patch
>
>
> Following the work at UMich (DS-587), this patch will cause the value of any
> configured item metadata field on the withdrawn item's tombstone page to
> display.
> It is configured by the optional property
> 'webui.tombstone.reason=<metadatafield>' in dspace.cfg
> If configuration property is not defined, the tombstone will appear without a
> reason display area.
> If a given item lacks a value for configured metadata field, the reason
> displayed will be the value of the message: 'jsp.tombstone.noreason'
> The prompt before the reason text is the value of the message:
> 'jsp.tombstone.reason'
> Patches below
