Provide cleanup for ExtRefs #1188

Open danyill opened 1 year ago

danyill commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some data models are very verbose. Users may wish to "cut them down". One area where this is true is ExtRefs. Recently one of our manufacturers exposed all possible ExtRefs (the super set of the data model) with no obvious ability to reduce them within the IED Configuration Tool. A large number of these (perhaps 90%) are additional to what is necessary and they have the effect of making configuration more cluttered than necessary.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the Cleanup plugin, provide a list of all unsubscribed ExtRefs in the same manner as the existing cleanup panes. All the user to multi-select and remove them based on a filtered list.

Requirements

Be able to remove large numbers of ExtRefs based on their name, description or other "useful" fields commonly held within the identity string (e.g. IED or LN). Be able to select based on the serviceType.

Suggestions for a specific user interaction

Extension of pane within the Cleanup plugin.

I'd be happy to work on this if this was agreed to be useful upon refinement.

Regrettably this is still relevant and requires attention :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: However for at least the manufacturer where this is most relevant (SEL) if you remove the ExtRefs they are just regenerated. Fortunately that behaviour can be controlled by a private/namespaced setting within the file.

All right, we will take a look in the refinement.
