Santiago Florez (Nov 01 2023 at 20:16): Santiago Florez (Nov 01 2023 at 20:16):Hi all. When someone sends a dataset to review and if the reviewer returns it, I think he should put the reason why it is returned.
I have been seen the documentation, but I don't find how can I do that.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 01 2023 at 21:02):Hi! Right now it's only possible via API: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.0/api/native-api.html#return-a-dataset-to-author
Here's the issue for the old UI: Return to Author: When returning datasets that were submitted for review, I want to add a feedback note. #3702
New UI: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-frontend/issues/201
Santiago Florez (Nov 02 2023 at 15:51):Thanks @Philip Durbin, but I want the curator to be able to put the message in the GUI, because the people who will be using the repository don't know how to run commands in a terminal, and may never have seen a terminal.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 02 2023 at 16:02):Make sense. I would suggest giving a :thumbs_up: to both issues. And leaving comments on both saying you are interested.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 02 2023 at 16:02):@Santiago Florez also, do you have a board like https://github.com/orgs/IQSS/projects/15 ? If not, do you want one?
Dieuwertje Bloemen (Nov 06 2023 at 15:14):We used to have a work around in place that the review flow includes them sending a message via the contact button of the dataset. They would send this out, right before clicking the return from review button. The two buttons are super close to each other, so it's not a lot more work.
We have since created a review dashboard that uses the API to just send out one message that includes the feedback. But the above work around is pretty doable as well.
