Description

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?

  • Which page(s) does it occurs on?

https://demo.dataverse.org/api/metadatablocks/biomedical

  • What happens?

While exploring the metadata available in dataverse via the API, I noticed that a field in the life sciences metadata list contained a typo. The “studyAssayOtherMeasurmentType” field is missing an ‘e’ in the word “Measur_e_ment.” This issue only affects the field's slug and not the name displayed in the interface.

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

All users

  • What did you expect to happen?

I would expect the field to be named "studyAssayOtherMeasurementType".

Correct the slug to "studyAssayOtherMeasurementType", then verify that the API returns the corrected field while the displayed name remains unchanged.
