Description

In CKAN 1.7.4, there used to be an UI element to select the Resource Type.

![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1058414/4951875/bca7fef2-666c-11e4-83b6-193764657336.png)

The options available through the UI were
- data file
- API
- visualization
- image
- metadata
- documentation
- code
- example

IMO this used to be a very useful feature and should come back. Actually, I can't see the rationale behind its removal since the older versions of CKAN.

Research direction

Start by locating the current resource metadata UI and comparing it with the CKAN 1.7.4 behavior shown in the issue. Verify how the resource_type value is represented, then confirm that the UI offers the eight listed choices and persists the selected value. The issue names no files or tests, so repository exploration is required.
