Preparation: Donor (Text5) Picklist possibility? #42

Exploratory Testing Issue 64: Preparations:Donor searchable and suggestions

Donor field will be superseded for new material via the Registration:Agent:Role:Donor but this would at least initially not be the cast for the pre-existing collection.

Would it be possible to create a picklist from the Donor field in BG-Base that you could also free text an different value if not available in the list?

Or do we look at adding in retrospective registrations and assigning collection objects to these?

I think the plan is for donors to be transformed into registrations. The door information has been migrated and will need to be worked on to add information, rather than the IDs migrated from BGBase
