Hi Megan,

We were wondering what the status is regarding the repeatability of
whole information groups and sub-information groups (in lack of a better
word); the larger sub-groups of the main information groups, that have
their own grey title bar in the UI.

In Cataloguing the following Information Groups should be repeatable
according to the schema:

Object Production Information

Object Owner's Contribution Information

Object Viewer's Contribution Information

(Similarly in Object Entry/Intake the Object Location Information Group
should be repeatable)

In Cataloguing the Object Description Information Group has two larger
subgroups that should repeatable according to the schema:

Inscription Content (Textual Inscription in the UI)

Inscription Description (Non-Textual Inscription in the UI)

We have not seen this kind of repeatable groups implemented anywhere so
far. Our main concern is that we need to be able to record multiple
inscriptions in each Cataloguing record - hence this request.

Cheers,

Kim

Kim,

I'm cc'ing Aron on this; as far as I know he's the last one to deal with
this issue. There is currently an open Jira for enabling the remaining
four repeatable groups in Cataloging (two with repeatable sub-fields and
two without), but enabling them will require some refactoring.

Aron, could you please comment on the type/amount of work that would
need to be done to enable the repeatable groups that do not have
repeatable sub-fields?

Thanks,

Megan
