Time Series Template: Speciation on Variables tab should be NULL-able #42

Open AmberSJones opened 8 years ago

AmberSJones commented 8 years ago

"Speciation" column in "Variables" tab won't allow the entry of "NULL" as an option- though this field should be NULL-able. Cell highlights red. image 2

@AmberSJones, the intent was that the field just be left blank if the value is NULL. It looks like that was what you did with the examples. Because that field is looking up a CV, in order for the the work NULL to not be flagged as an error and to be included in the drop-down, that term would have to be added to the CV or the data validation on that column changed. I think it would be much easier to just make a note in the instructions to leave to field blank if the value is NULL. Is that ok? Can we close this?

I agree about the note in the instructions for this.

That's fine with me. We should probably keep the issue open to remind us to add to the instructions.
