How to download individual metadata? #2019

Open emmahodcroft opened 3 months ago

I was tying to check our field (column) names and so went to download the info for just one sequence. I went to Ebola Sudan (though don't think this matters) and clicked on the first sequence in the list, bringing it into the 'pop up view'.

However, I was surprised when I clicked the 'download' icon in the top-right and was not given any choice of what to download - it just downloaded a Fasta - when what I actually want is the metadata!

I'd suggest we add possibly two links (one FASTA, one metadata) or some other kind of selector (perhaps also offering GB file that has both?) - it's odd to me one can't just download metadata for one sequence!

To clarify would this be in TSV format with one row, or something else?

I also noticed this - to only download the metadata of one sequence at the moment you need to add the specific accession of that sequence to the search filter and then you can use the download options box to only download the metadata
