[DDE GUIDE ISSUE] Enable table copy/paste or import for properties with many objects #131

Open gtsueng opened 4 years ago

There can be a long list of authors. Having to add each author manually can discourage the user from adding the particular resource altogether.

Being able to copy/paste a table of author names/affiliations/other optional properties would make this less painful. This is especially frustrating since many resources may have a list of authors that can be copy/pasted into a spreadsheet for clean up, but then must manually be added to the DDE Playground.

Suggest allowing users to add tables, with the condition that the column names/headers must match the allowed property names for authors.
