Question: retain unused columns in FLMD? #34

If I am creating an FLMD file with just the required and recommended columns, should I use the template and fill unused columns with N/As, or create a modified FLMD containing only columns with data? thanks, Kim

Hi Kim,

Please revise the template to only include the fields relevant to your data. Thank you for this question, I'll add a reminder to clarify this in our instructions.
