This is a complex issue to fix generally, as the records in RODA can have different descriptive metadata schemas. How to identify a set of editable fields to set across a set of metadata files which may use different schemas, and how to use this to update the files?

This task could have two different approaches:

  1. Ensure all selected records have the same descriptive metadata schema (type and version)
  2. Define a methodology to identify editable fields and rules to update them across and heregenous set of descriptive metadata schemas (type or version)

In any of the cases, this task would involve several changes into the system, both interface and logic, which will require a high amount of effort.

Then we scrap this issue from iteration 3.
