Synthesizing recovery date from available fields #4

Open KJPWarner opened 4 days ago

Hello,

Within the recovery data, there doesn't seem to be fields available to generate the date a specific recovery took place similar to how this data is generated via the RMIS GUI. Just curious if there's fields available via joins to extract this data that I may have missed.

@gregwilke any ideas? I am not familiar with the GUI.

hi @KJPWarner - yes, this is a known issue with the RMIS API and not this repo. We plan to fix and include the missing recovery date on next API updates, but no firm time-frame. If you'd like to make a case for sooner you can get in touch!

@gregwilke Good to hear! I just wanted to double check that I wasn't missing a sneaky join some where. One case involves effort to migrate a lot of routine analysis our teams do into a scripted format without interacting with the GUI. Specific recovery dates allow parsing of some smaller fisheries that aren't delineated by a fishery code, and just identified via the sampling dates.

But it sounds like it's already on folks' radar, which is great!
