Description
workflow:
- Create dataverse collection
- Go to "Metadata Fields" section of the page
- Make sure that "Use Harvard Dataverse metadata settings" is checked
- Click on "Citation" metadata block and "view" link to see the fields, and make one or more fields required
- Uncheck "use Harvard Dataverse metadata settings"
- Citation metadata should update to allow me to make fields required, but it does not. See image below.
