Feature Request/Idea: Return to Author

Overview of the Feature Request

Curators often return datasets to the author because the dataset is not ready to be published. They can leave a note for the author, as shown in the screenshots below.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?
(Example users roles: API User, Curator, Depositor, Guest, Superuser, Sysadmin)

Curator

What inspired the request?

Conversations with @sbarbosadataverse and @dliburd about how they could probably do much more of their job without ever leaving the SPA if they had this "Return to Author" button. Obviously, we've been prioritizing features for depositors but this one feature, which I hope is somewhat small to implement, could leave to Sonia and Dwayne spending much more time in the SPA in production, providing valuable feedback on a whole variety of features.

Design considerations

We got feedback in #243 "that the popup is not really adapted for long texts" but the screenshot there (also included below) shows a much lower character count so maybe it's ok, as-is:

API endpoints

The following API endpoint should be used: Return a Dataset to Author

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

I will close the following related issues in favor of the new one I'm creating now:

• #201
• #243

Start with the Dataverse native API endpoint “Return a Dataset to Author” and review related issues #201 and #243. Then locate the curator workflow in the SPA and its existing dialogs or dataset actions. Done means curators can return an unpublished dataset to its author with a note without leaving the SPA.
