@maxachis odd—that description of submission_notes
makes sense for data_requests
, as you say. On the "submit a data source" form as it exists currently, the description for that field is "Did you encounter an issue using this form? Were you unable to select an option you needed or give us information we did not ask for? Is there something special about this Data Source?"
so, both schemae...ii...could involve submission_notes
but they have a different purpose. It's not used too often, but I do like having it around.
@josh-chamberlain Got it! In that case, I consider this issue resolved!
Context
data_sources
has two attributes that seem like they may overlap:description
: "Information to give clarity and confidence about what this source is, how it was processed, and whether the person reading the description might want to use it. Especially important if the source is difficult to preview or categorize."submission_notes
: "What are you trying to learn? Are you trying to answer a specific question, or complete a specific project? Is there anything you've already tried?"data_requests
; Since data sources are answers to requests for data, it seems odd to include it when description should hopefully provide the requisite informationRequirements
description
andsubmission_notes
are both necessary indata_sources
.
