Mark Diggory commented on DS-996:
---------------------------------
I believe the higher problem we are encountering in the dialog is that overuse
of the metadata to preserve state of the item at various stages. We know that
we all agree that store provenance in the metadata is not ideal, and we have to
create exceptions in the application to address this. Here is yet another
example. It is a bad idea to store this state in the metadata table, it is not
the appropriate place to put a "reason" for the withdraw.
I'm not a big fan of storing "internal system state" in the metadata,
especially if we already have a column to flag the withdrawn state in the Item
table itself, it would seem wiser to have the reason be an additional "system"
level property that can be passed to the Item when it is withdrawn. I would
have seen it better to place these states either in the Item table (withdrawn,
embargoed, deleted, so-on)

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 configured item metadata field on the withdrawn item's tombstone page to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