April 2022 Release Notes

File List validation

A new validation feature was introduced in this release for File List. It validates the file considering the expected File List structure and file paths.

Before this release the organisations in the studies were hardcoded in the collections template. They're now fetched from the [ROR]

(https://ror.org/) service.

• Improve deployment scripts
• Do not validate file list if field hasn't changed
• Create default submission if there is only one template

August 2021 Release Notes

Table data import

A new feature to paste data into tables has been introduced in this version. It comes handy when there are a lot of entries for a table.
This features has some options such as:

• "Set first row as column headers" if checked, it will look for the columns already defined in the table matching it with the columns in the pasted data. This allows to paste data for certain columns leaving empty columns in between.
• "Append data to current entries" if checked, it will join the data to the existing entries, if unchecked it will clean up the entries before pasting the new data.

This feature is still on development and should be used considering:

• It only supports TAB delimited data
• This is still on testing and only available for studies using the default template

Date field and date picker

Show today button in form date picker

A new button in the date picker is now available to set the current date in the release date input.
