Description

See https://github.com/scipp/ess/issues/501:

  • For the bank name, the interface failed when I typed the name with a capital letter. It could be useful for future versions to have "RadioButtons", "Select" or "SelectMultiple" from ipywidgets to avoid misspelling issues.

Research direction

Start by reading issue 501 and locating the GUI entry point that accepts DREAM detector or bank names. Check how the current text input is built, then assess an ipywidgets RadioButtons, Select, or SelectMultiple widget; done means users choose valid names without capitalization or spelling failures.
