Multiple Curriculums ("Resources") #2

From: Susan Topol Was: https://www.umms.med.umich.edu/it.jira/browse/OERDRUPAL-47

We use the "Add new Academic Unit/Department/Curriculum" feature to add a "Resources" to a school, department or college. (More info on how we perform these steps can be found here: https://open.umich.edu/wiki/Drupal_Publishing_Steps#Adding_a_Resources_Section_to_a_College.2C_School_or_Department: . As a result, we have multiple "curriculums" across the system that are all called "Resources". For example, the Drupal name for "Resources" under the School of Education is "Resources [nid: 2433]".

Usually, you just add a new course UNDER the correct "Resource" section within a specific department. However, when you want to move an already published course and place it under a resource section, what happens is you'll see "Resources" listed multiple times under the pull down menu and you can't tell what department each "Resources" is associated with. So, it would be nice if Drupal either displayed "Resources - Dept of Ed" under the pull down list - OR - allowed you to type in "Resources [nid: 2433]" to specify which department you want. Without this feature, we had to resort to trial and error to get our course to land in the correct department.
