Topic: ✔ Funding Information values not showing

view this post on Zulip César Ferreira (Aug 13 2025 at 14:50):

Hi there, I am currently using dataverse version 6.2 and in Dataset page Metadata tab the values for Funding Information field in citation metadatablock are not showing, but the values appear when editing the dataset.
I am trying to debug this situation by looking at the code block that starts here in metadataFragment.xhtml, but I don't have any changes there. I am also looking at datafieldvalue table to check if the fields are correctly defined. Everything seems fine but the values don't appear. Any ideas/suggestions?

My configuration in citation.tsv for the fields not showing is as follows:

#datasetField   name    title   description watermark    fieldType  displayOrder    displayFormat   advancedSearchField allowControlledVocabulary   allowmultiples  facetable   displayoncreate required    parent  metadatablock_id    termURI

...

grantNumber Funding Information Information about the Dataset's financial support       none    46  :   FALSE   FALSE   TRUE    FALSE   FALSE   FALSE       citation    https://schema.org/sponsor
grantNumberAgency   Agency  The agency that provided financial support for the Dataset  Organization XYZ    text    47  #VALUE  TRUE    FALSE   FALSE   TRUE    FALSE   FALSE   grantNumber citation
grantNumberValue    Identifier  The grant identifier or contract identifier of the agency that provided financial support for the Dataset       text    48  #VALUE  TRUE    FALSE   FALSE   TRUE    FALSE   FALSE   grantNumber citation

Is this a published, public dataset we can look at?

Yes, for example this one: https://qty.polen.fccn.pt/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.82210/VFANW5

I can see grantNumberValue, etc when I export as JSON: https://qty.polen.fccn.pt/api/datasets/export?exporter=dataverse_json&persistentId=doi%3A10.82210/VFANW5

Yes, the metadata when exporting as JSON seems correct, but when previewing the metadata tab the Funding Information is empty.

In that case it should appear the grantNumberValue. In this example both fields for grantNumber have values but nothing appears in Metadata and the JSON export has these values https://qty.polen.fccn.pt/api/datasets/export?exporter=dataverse_json&persistentId=doi:10.82210/HIQEKZ

but I don't have any changes there

Did you make other changes? Are you running a fork? If you create a dataset using that JSON on https://demo.dataverse.org, does it look ok?

I think I found the issue, I am using an external controlled vocabulary script for that field. It was supposed to only work in edit mode but somehow it interferes with the loading of that field in view mode. After I changed the condition in the script for when to run, everything is working as intended.

I also had parent field name in the JSON config file for external controlled vocabularies and that was also causing the issue. After I changed it to grantNumberValue it started showing the values.

Ah, CVOC. I should have asked about that. Glad you figured it out!
