Make field comment specific to table. #272

Open don-torok opened 3 years ago

don-torok commented 3 years ago

When for example I have multiple tables that map to Observation I would like the comment for fields that do not have an arrow (no relationship with source values) to be specific to the table. Currently the comments apply to all tables mapped to Observation. For one of the tables the Observation type should be 32818 (EHR Administration record) but for another table that has observations the Observation type should be 32865 (Patient self-report). It does not seem possible to do this.

Indeed the field comments are currently not tied to a particular mapping, they were originally meant for generic comments on a field (source or target).

I agree that it would be an improvement to have mapping-specific field comments. Will put it on the roadmap.
