Need options for the P585 precision and format dropdown menus

[g1eb]

We discussed adding dropdown menus for the P585 precision and format menus. @kyao could you point me to where we can get these options? Thanks!!

For precision options are: year, month, day Internally the options map to: 9, 10, 11

[g1eb]

Ke-Thia, just to clarify, do you mean year=9, month=10 and day=11?

[kyao]

Yes, that is correct

[g1eb]

Sounds good, I'll add the dropdown menu with those options for the precision. Do you have any pointers on where to get the options for the format dropdown menu?

[kyao]

Let's use these date formats in the dropdown menu. The user should be able to enter other formats.

• %Y (2021)
• %Y-%m (2021-09)
• %Y-%m-%d (2021-09-17)
• %m/%d/%Y (09/17/2021)
• %Y-%b-%d (2021-Sep-17)
• %Y-%B-%d (2021-September-17)
• %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S (2021-09-17T14:00:00)

For the precisions it looks like t2wml will automatically convert the stings to integers (year -> 9). @devowit Is this correct?

@devowit I'm getting an error when trying to save these date format values, do we need to wrap them in quotes?

errorCode: 500
errorDescription: "Error returned from get_causx_partial_csv: while scanning for the next token\nfound character '%' that cannot start any token\n  in \"<unicode string>\", line 15, column 23:\n                  format: %Y\n                          ^300"
errorTitle: "ValueError"

[devowit]

yes, needs to be wrapped in quotes because internally everything gets converted to yaml and yaml treats % as a special character.....

gotcha, that's what I did to get it to work, we can close this ticket I think
