Improve upload metadata script #423

Closed crisgarner closed 2 weeks ago

crisgarner commented 1 month ago

The script for uploading metadata requests the date as:

When would you like to end the registration for applications? (Please respond in the format {Year}/{Month}/{Day} {Hour}:{Minute}:{Second} in UTC time)

If a user inputs 2024/10/25 17:30:00, it should use UTC format, but the frontend instead takes the current time period turning the input as Fri Oct 25 2024 17:30:00 UTC-6

  • A proposed solution would be to use, instead of requesting dates, only requests the duration of the period and use the poll deployment time + duration as a base.
  • Also we should only request the application period time and take the state based on the poll duration.

Is this something that we think we should be maintaining? I would suggest for the time being we just have a json template and ask people to fill it up. Then all of this will be done via the frontend anyways

I think we could have a json template for people to fill it up, and after the deployer dashboard deployed, just use the frontend. Could open a PR to allow template and upload json file.
