what happens if you increase the classifiation count required for retirement on a live project? #1301

Closed mschwamb closed 6 years ago

mschwamb commented 9 years ago

I wanted to ask before broaching the P4 science team. I'm not doing any weighting yet, but I think we might want more than 20 classifications per subject. If I bring the project back to development and increase the classification count to 30 and the make the site back to live will that un-retire subjects that are already retired that had 20 classifications?

Thanks.

As it's currently written raising the limit will not unretire subjects.

mschwamb commented 9 years ago

So I'd had to use the api to unretire subjects after that step?

It seems like should be a way to do this with the project builder because there may be times once you've got a much larger sample classified that you find you need more classifications. Should open a separate ticket for that discussion on the front end side?

PS - thanks @edpaget for the info

+1 - This has come up a few times in projects I'm working on. We try to overshoot in beta testing to come up with sensible limits, but needs can change, especially if aggregation algorithms change.

Does anyone actually depend on the current behaviour, or could we just always retrofit the retirement limit?

edpaget commented 9 years ago

We could allow changes to the retirement limit to unretire subjects.

camallen commented 9 years ago

agreed, no one depends on the way it currently works. I think we'd have to add some copy / warnings to the front end page stating something about "may result in subjects being un-retired / retired."

mschwamb commented 9 years ago

That would be great if it's possible to do.

This hasn't been done, but we've made solution much more complicated now that Caesar is in the mix. I don't think we'll get to this anytime soon.
