Apply Rules Tool with Sample Sheet Information #11691

Open jmchilton opened 3 years ago

jmchilton commented 3 years ago

Using sample sheets for collection metadata is possible during upload - but it would be nice if such data could also be ingested by the Apply Rules tool and applied to simple lists. An input would need to be added to the tool and we would need to update the UI to add options for how to match rows to elements of the input list (select column for index, use row number as index, select column as list identifier) and what to do when the database doesn't align (filter unmatched elements, fail).

Parts can be done already with Tag elements from file and Relabel list identifiers, but it would certainly be more powerful in the Apply rule tool.
