I think PR #11781 is a very good stepping stone to start solving this problem. What Stephen proposed are options to go further with the solution. The core problem in my opinion is that: the user in Explore wants to modify the dataset to fit their needs for a modified or new visualization. I think the intent can be one of two intents: make permanent changes to the Dataset OR make some ad-hoc changes to test a new visualization. Making the edits harder does not seem to solve the actual user need, it just makes it harder to achieve. The actual solution can include the option to do a "Save as" on the dataset, because that allows the user to make the breaking changes, get the dataset they want AND avoid impacting other users. Hence our proposal for a duplicate dataset flow (Option 1): "Do you need to test some ad hoc changes in the Dataset?" - "Do it on a personal copy, without the risk of affecting others" I don't think our proposal is mutually exclusive with Grace's PR #11781, rather it further extends on it, while offers a viable non-breaking alternative flow. I am aware this solution needs more work and we will be glad to consider it for our roadmap if engineering resources are a concern. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
