use of Rights box #80

Closed evanwill closed 4 years ago

evanwill commented 4 years ago

currently the item page has the "Rights" box which is not configurable. It is automatically added if an item has a field named "rights" and/or "rightsstatement".

Looking at collections, a lot of metadata has these fields named random other things, including many recently done use "rights (standardized)", so rights box doesn't show up. Also, many config-metadata contain both the rights fields, so the item page displays the rights fields, then also includes the rights box.

Do we want to normalize this better? Just have one or the other? Make sure everyone actually changes the field names, and doesn't add them to config-metadata?

I've noticed this as well. I'd like to normalize this -- I had forgotten how it worked until talking to Michelle the other day.

??: Do you think we could build in code that said, if field contains "rights" put it in the rights box and (separately) if field contains rights, don't put it in the regular portion. Could be useful for GH too.

leads to more questions though: like do we require user to list the field in config-metadata--I can see folks being annoyed that a rights field appears. For us, the code solution might work though.

We can also just make folks more generally aware ...

Might be good to also have people also change the field names now anyway (I thought this was in your instructions already), since they already have to edit cdmid and objectid fields when merging.

add a bit of logic to skip metadata display of rights if it will show up in box below @evanwill
