Feature Request: Allow an array of values to be selected from a list.

[rosibaj]

Detailed Description

There have been some fields added in the "extended clinical" that have > 1 value per field For example, presenting symptom(s) is an array of possible items.

On input for the clinical system, the tsv this would look like a comma separated list with and the restriction is that each value must be part of the field codelist.

• need a way to designate an array field
• need to know how to format files to parse an array of values (comma/pipe?) in submitted TSVs

Implementation

Change the metaschema to allow is array as an optional property of a field default to false if not provided

tested on Overture QA with:

{
    "name": "primary_diagnosis2",
    "description": "The collection of data elements related to a donor's primary diagnosis. The primary diagnosis is the first diagnosed case of cancer in a donor.",
    "fields": [{
        "name": "presenting_symptoms",
        "description": "Indicate presenting symptoms at time of primary diagnosis.",
        "valueType": "string",
        "isArray": true,
        "restrictions": {
            "codeList": [
                "Pruritus/Itchiness",
                "Steatorrhea",
                "Unknown",
                "Vomiting",
                "Weight Loss"
            ]
