Great, thank you!

Following up–you mentioned it is not currently possible to update the description through the API (and we have observed this behavior). Would it be possible to add this functionality?

This is important for our plugin’s use case, as we use the description to describe a transformed dataset as it relates to the input dataset that created it. When an input dataset’s title changes, we’d like to update the descriptions of the affected outputs accordingly.

Thanks,

Thomas

That makes sense, thanks!

Thank you! I could not find the metadata property in the documentation, but that is indeed what I need.

Actually, I realized this isn’t that hard to reproduce in CODAP:

1. Open the Microdata Portal plugin and create a People table.
2. Click on the “Boundaries” attribute and click “Delete Formula (Keeping Values)”.
3. Drag the (now non-formula) Boundaries attribute to the left into a new parent collection.

You’ll see that the Boundaries collapse into a single case, even though there are many distinct objects populating that attribute.
