The validations sets are increasingly used and I notice some difficulties users experience with it - in order of priority:
users select multiple validations sets and are not aware what this means
users do not understand what the practival difference are between the validation sets, especially the “IATI’ validation set
users can see and use validation sets of other organisations
I like to suggest the following to improve this:
change the interface to a dropdown of validation sets; the user can select only one (if does not make sense to select multiple)
rename the set ‘IATI’ to ‘IATI to 'All available fields’ removing mandatory fields for IATI (still show them but remove the fact they are mandatory). And add an IATI basic validation set with just the IATI mandatory fields (according to the validation rules), hiding all others. That way an organisation can simply see what they minimally need to do to comply with IATI validation rules but by switching to ‘All fields’ they can see what else is available.
link organisation specifc sets to organisations - users linked to these organisations and their partners can see the dataset.
