Description
Why are we doing this?
We want to help users create better metadata as this will make it easier for other users to assess whether they can reuse existing codelists.
How will we know when it's done?
We will capture better metadata. Feedback from users will be positive.
What are we doing?
Based on feedback gathered in #2582 we can implement the following 4 things which each have a sub issue with more details:
- Improve rendering of existing long descriptions or those containing markdown
- Make description field short and prevent markdown
- Pre-populate the methodology field with a suggested markdown template
- Improve the metadata page
