Describe what you're trying to do
Make the citation bulkloader and citation unbulkloader component loader format and required fields consistent. The citation bulkloader requires an identifier for the citing publication, one option of which is the Arctos publication ID in the format https://arctos.database.museum/publication/10009052". The citation unbulkloader, in contrast, requires the format as "publication_id to remove from citations. Example: 10009268 from https://arctos.database.museum/publication/10009268". I am requesting that both use the full url, as this is what is generated in the Search Results Tools Download for Citation Bulkloader.
In addition, the format for the Review and Load is different in the citation unbulkloader from all other component loaders. The order of the options is different for the unbulkloader, which has "Check None" "Check all" "Check all and change status to autoload" and "Change status to autoload for all checked". All other loaders have: "Check None" "Check All" "Set status to autoload" and "Check all and set status to autoload" in that order. Note both wording and order inconsistency. Also, the yellow box in the unbulkoader is above rather than to the side of the entry box and says "Change status for checked records to the above value" instead of "Change status for checked records" as is the case for other loaders. There is also no option to change record limit.
I would like this tool (citation unbulkloader) to be consistent with all other loaders and particularly with the citation bulkloader, so we download a csv from one and edit it for use as an input file for the other when corrections are needed.
