Other numbers table #189

Open PipBrewer opened 2 years ago

PipBrewer commented 2 years ago

Could we get an other numbers table that we can put multiple other numbers associated with a specimen into? This could combine the alternative catalogue number field and project number and other numbers. For example we need Determination Number for Vascular Plants. It would be good to have a column in that table where we could add categories/or descriptors for the other numbers such as "previous NHMD catalogue number", "previous institution catalogue number" etc. Could implement for Vascular Plants to test it out.

There is a table like that called OtherIdentifier. We can activate it and put it on the interface.

Sounds good! Would you migrate fields into it such as project number?

FedorSteeman commented 2 years ago

I can do that too.

FedorSteeman commented 2 years ago

What fields exactly need to be migrated?

PipBrewer commented 2 years ago

I don't have an overview of all fields for different collections. The project number was just an obvious suggestion. I suggest that a review of existing fields that should be incorporated should be co-ordinated by data managers.
