Description

Coming from the name editor it is currently only possible to add a new type designation in order to create a type specimen.
If the user wants to create an isotype i.e. a duplicate of the recently added type specimen it is not possible to create a "real" duplicate that shares the same FieldUnit. For this the user has to switch to the specimen editor.

How could the interface look like to directly create an isotype (or any related type) coming from the name editor?

  • the specimen wizard could be shown with all the FieldUnit data already entered (because the new DerivedUnit is already a child of the existing FieldUnit
  • a reduced wizard where the user can only select the collection is shown
  • ...

WGB:

Auch hier wäre natürlich eine Möglichkeit, mehrere Specimen gleichzeitig zu Isotypen zu erklären, ausgesprochen nützlich – alle Specimens einer Field Unit sind ja normalerweise Typen.

...

Hier wäre eine Kontextmenüfunktion Add – Specimen duplicates sehr komfortabel, in die man eine Liste von Herbarabkürzungen eintragen kann, die dann entsprechend zu Specimen gemacht werden (ggf. unter Erzeugung einer neuen Collection) (#6665)

Possible solution in the details view of name editor:

  1. First we could add a new button/extend the functionality of the +-button to create a new type designation
  2. The button will open a dialog where you can select the field unit on which the new specimen duplicate is based. If there is only one field unit then this step can be skipped and the only field unit is selected
  3. Another dialog opens where you can specify the accession number, collection and what kind of type it is(holo, lecto, etc.)
  4. As a first implementation step, it is only possible to create one specimen duplicate
  5. As a second step it should be possible to enter a list of accession numbers, collections and types to create multiple duplicates

Note on algae data: generally the common parent for duplicates must not be field units but also can be derivatives like cultures. However, for most cases the relationship between field unit and final specimen is most important so in a first step it is enough to use the field unit as the common parent. If a user wants to model this more exactly he/she should go to specimen tree editor afterwards.

Note on available status: Usually we do have status pairs, a holotype has isotypes, a neotype has isoneotypes, a lectotype has isolectotypes, etc. as possible duplicates. We should consider this when offering default status or a list of sorted status where the most probable status is shown on top

Updated by Norbert Kilian about 7 years ago

My preferred solution: an option (with similar functionality as the "add new specimen" option for a field unit in the specimen editor) to create a duplicate of the existing type. Should open the wizard?/window as in specimen editor but with "General" reduced to the title cache field, and with the specimen details as they are, "Sources" "Identifiers" and "Options" may also stay.

The first implementation allows selection one of the already existing specimen type designation for creating the duplicate. You can specify collection, accession number and type status.

The specimen will be pre-selected if only one type designation exists.

The option to duplicate will not appear if there are no type designations yet.

This was tested on the nightly build.

the item is really small and after adding the first typedesignation the view is not updated, so the item does not appear.

But the creation of a duplicate works as expected!

The buttons are now updated with every add or remove.

The icon is from the Eclipse icon set and it is standard sized.

We should change order, first collection, then accession number.

Also the status are not sorted. Order should be same as in details view but on top and preselected should be the most probable status (see "note on available status" in description of this ticket).

Actions #39

Updated by Andreas Müller almost 5 years ago

After selecting the collection it would be a very helpful feature to show already existing specimen candidates for this collection. One can then choose either to use one of theses candidates or to create a new one by entering an explict accession number. If we don't do this now we should do it soon as it will prevent from creating unwanted duplicates.

Actions #40

Updated by Andreas Müller almost 5 years ago

Have we on purpose decided to only show accession number? Shouldn't we also allow barcode and/or catalogue number? Otherwise e.g. for B it will create kind of dirty data which needs to be cleaned up afterwards.

Actions #41

Updated by Andreas Müller almost 5 years ago

Any kind of accession number should not be required as sometimes such a number does not exist, but only collection and status.

Actions #42

Updated by Andreas Müller almost 5 years ago

If I enter a type designation and then add a duplicate without saving in between the first type designation gets lost. Maybe related to #8225?

Actions #43

Updated by Andreas Müller almost 5 years ago

If 2 existing type designations have the same field unit they should not be listed both in the "base type" list IMO. In general to me it looks like the base type list should contain field units not specimen or is there a specific reason for using specimen?
