Nested datasets don't display links and child datasets clearly under the parent dataset #2418

Open justinkadi opened 1 month ago

Describe the feature you'd like For nested datasets, it would be helpful to have the parent dataset include links for all the child datasets nested underneath. In the older UI, there was a hyperlink that could be followed next to the name of each child dataset. Currently, the child datasets are listed as individual folders under the parent dataset.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When users are on the parent dataset page, they are unable to find the metadata page for the child datasets.

Additional context There have been 2 instances where this has come up since the update:

  1. This dataset is one of many child datasets nested under this parent dataset.
  2. This is another parent dataset that has this issue. The PI included this request in her email

I set this up a few years ago to keep all our datasets under one header and now some of the other authors of the datasets seemed to have been left out somehow. It seems there was some kind of change to the layout of the nested datasets in recent years. Is there a way to change the author on this tree of datasets? All the datasets are listed under this tree, which was the goal, but now authorship isn't clearly visible of all the individual datasets.
