Richard Rodgers commented on DS-996:
------------------------------------
A few comments to Jim:
Just to be clear (which I fear I haven't sufficiently been): out of the box,
the *only* thing that will display on the tombstone page is a label followed by
a reason string,
which latter can *either* be a fixed default value, *or* the value of an item
metadata field designated as the one that holds withdrawal reasons, if it
exists for that item.
However, since the item has been 'looked up' and placed in the tombstone.jsp
page, one can *customize* the page by adding as much additional item metadata
(in addition, that is, to the reason metadata field) as one likes, by
modifiying the 'tombstone.jsp' page. For JSPUI, this is the recommended way of
doing local customizations, and is fairly lightweight.
You raise a good point about reinstatement (need to preserve the reason), and I
see this an argument for building this functionality in stages, as we
understand all the requirements. If we automatically were to delete the custom
reason field upon reinstatement, then that data would be lost.

> 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 configured item metadata field on the withdrawn item's tombstone page to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
