By default in INCEpTION, the "remember layer" mode is on. This means the layer of an annotation cannot be changed. The dropdown only says which layer a new annotation is created on.
You can disable "remember layer" in the settings dialog. If you change the dropdown then, a popup will appear asking if you really want to delete the current annotation and create an annotation of the selected type at this location.
The functionality is as intended, however, the label of the dropdown might need an adjustment.
Did we change defaults? I remember it worked differently during the user study I conducted. When I untick "remember layer", then I get asked whether I really want to switch, when I have the box ticked and select a different layer while I have selected an annotation, then I get an ajax error:
You are about to replace an annotation of type Named entity with a new annotation of type Chunk. This action will discard all feature values and delete 0 relation(s)/link(s) attached to current Named entity annotation. Are you sure?
We changed the defaults in comparison to WebAnno were "Remember layer" is off by default. However, in INCEpTION, it has been on by default for a long time.
What about the AJAX error? Is that reproducible?
Yes
Shouldn't the issue remain open then - or are you opening a new one for the AJAX problem?
I thought if it works like intended then it is not a bug, even if there is an ajax problem
The AJAX issue doesn't seem to be working as intended...?
This upstream PR fixes the error reported in the AJAX console: https://github.com/webanno/webanno/pull/1593
Describe the bug
If I create an annotation and then want to change the layer, then it does not work.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I used the webanno demo de project
Expected behavior
It changes the layer from Chunk to Named Entity
