Site Details page on Drupal 8 - is 'Country' needed as a drop-down option? #133

Closed DavidRoy closed 4 years ago

The spatial information is best coming from the site location information?

Suggest this field is removed from the form.

@IanMiddlebrook - do you agree?

Country or County?

I only see a County field. I find this useful when a recorder has set up a new site, so that I can quickly see which co-ordinators need to be linked up.

DavidRoy commented 4 years ago

Sorry, I meant County. If you find it useful we'll keep it in.

IanMiddlebrook commented 4 years ago

If it could be generated automatically from the central grid ref, that would be just as good (more reliable). But that might be unnecessary levels of sophistication when the recorder can just select it.

The County field is a termlist, and is not connected to any location records. It has no concept of the geography associated with the county, so would require quite a bit of work in order to auto fill-in.

Thanks for confirming. We therefore leave 'as is'
