User story

As a user I want to know what the date in the metadata record applies to so that I have clarity on what is being documented and how that applies to my work

Describe the idea

Currently the metadata record dates indicate when it was published or modified but doesn't specify whether these dates apply to the metadata record itself or the data the metadata record is about. image

In similar situations this had caused confusion to users - they think the data was published or modified on this date.

Actions

Prefix the Published and Modified dates with 'Record' to be more explicit and prevent confusion for users. This would follow in the footsteps of the 'Record type' and 'Record visibility' labels that precede and follow the dates.

Alternatively, reorganize the information so that this linkage of dates to the MR record is more clear. However, this may cause more change (both in behaviour/expectations and on the systems side) down the road if we choose to add published dates for datasets to the metadata model.
