From Ricks comments: Entering metadata using the Data Repository screen can take 10 to 30 minutes or longer; sometimes Internet connections can fail or browsers crash, which leads to loss of data. It would be reassuring and productivity-enhancing if the screen had a ‘Commit’ or ‘Save Work’ button that wrote intermediate results to the metadata. I realize that this can be done by saving and then re-opening the (existing) data package for further entry; but a ‘one-button’ solution would be even better.
