Problem: Location enhancement to the Archival Storage Tab might challenge our view of storage service defaults

ross-spencer commented 4 years ago

Please describe the problem you'd like to be solved

With the upcoming enhancement to add location to the archival storage tab: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/1214 we will now see this string appear more often: Store AIP in standard Archivematica Directory which is a default that is read directly from the storage service.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented

At some point, I would like to see the default name changed. We've one suggestion in Standard Archivematica Directory. or Default...? But I don't think there's a strong feeling for any particular name, just not what we're using currently.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leaving it as-is in the short-term might be fine as the feature settles.

Additional context

It's not entirely unfeasible that we've code somewhere using Store AIP in standard Archivematica Directory in the logic somewhere. So there could be an impact if it is changed. I'm not sure about AM's base code, but we might need to check automated acceptance tests, automation tools, etc.

Another possible solution, albeit a more complicated one, would be to differentiate the name of the storage location from the label that the user sees during processing, if users feel a need to have something more "instructional" to see during processing. Not necessarily advocating for this approach, just throwing it out there.
