bug #7995
Registration.registrationDate not set when status is set PUBLISHED
100%
Description
The Registration.registrationDate should be set to now when the status is set to PUBLISHED.
When status changes from PUBLISHED to something else the registrationDate should be resetted to null.
Per definition the registrationDate this the timestamp for when the registration has been published, so it makes most sense to implement this rule into the setter Registration.status. There might be rare use cases in which the registrationDate needs to be different. In these cases setting the data explicitly is needed anyway.

This is dangerous behaviour. For phycobank it might be correct as we edit the data within the database. However, for handling external registrations it is not correct. For the later usecase the user/developer must know that setting the date should be done after setting the state which is hidden knowledge only available in Javadoc or so which is dangerous. Also when accidentally changing the state and change it back to PUBLISHED the date is changed without realizing by the user maybe.
So I strongly recommend to implement this on application side if it is a wanted feature for phycobank but remove it from cdmlib-model. We could add a method in service layer if you want to encapsulate it within one operation. This method should have an according name, e.g. setStatusAndDate

So this means implementing it in cdm-vaadin and in the registration controller methods (cdmlib-remote) which allow state changes. Especially in the remote layer it is crucial for the digital workflow that the registrationDate is always set to now when status is set PUBLISHED.

sounds reasonable

There is now a updateStatusAndDate(RegistrationStatus status) method in Registration which can be used if needed. The algorithm is centralized that way.
