Description

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
If I had a new metadatablock inside my customized dataverse instance I need to have a big field with a lot of children fields. Some could have multiple values, but this does not work in two different ways.

  • When does this issue occur?
  1. If I have a child field associated with a vocabulary I can choose multiple values but I can visualize only the first one.
  2. If I have a simple text child field but cannot choose more values for it.
  • Which page(s) does it occurs on?
    Visualization and editing pages of datasets

  • To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
    All users, curators and superusers

  • What did you expect to happen?
    I think that in both cases I need to have a field that allows users to upload more values

Which version of Dataverse are you using?
6.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the custom metadata block in the dataset visualization and editing pages, using the TSV rows for controlled-vocabulary and simple text child fields as the test setup. Done means all selected values are visible and simple text child fields allow users to enter multiple values.
