What's the Null values section in the double-click-the-header help? #244

Closed turbomam closed 2 years ago

turbomam commented 2 years ago

Possibly see also #243

ddooley commented 2 years ago

At moment there is a feature in DH that allows the "data status" column of a template (in data.tsv) to be a (nominal) list of permitted null values - e.g. "Not Applicable; Missing; Not Collected; Not Provided; Restricted Access" to be added in addition to whatever field validation is applicable to a field (decimal, date, enumerated list). The double click header help lists off the allowed null value tokens for the field.

I don't quite know how to multiplex/demultiplex this into the LinkML specification though. See https://github.com/linkml/linkml/issues/178

Thanks, that makes sense

ddooley commented 2 years ago

The ability to specify multiple ranges provides a solution for having null value categorical choices added to any desired field, so will implement that solution, per bottom of linkml/linkml#178

This is now done on the WIP-validation branch which will be merged soon.
