Description

Rationale / Begründung
Minimal functionality

For some questions accepting multiple answers (collections), multiple default answers should be acceptable, too.

Affected

Users, Managers

Additional features

Another possibility would be to assign different values depending on the answer of another previuos question.

Example: "Will the data be accessible through a free and standardised access protocol?"
--> If repository == "Zenodo" the answer is "via the REST API"
If repository == "PTB-OAR" the answer is "via the OAI-PMH protocol"

Start by locating the handling of is_collection and default options or values for questions. Confirm how collection questions currently validate defaults, then make the requested behavior complete when multiple defaults are supplied and verify that non-collection behavior remains unchanged.
