my question is how can I modify the name of dataverse categories, can I define my own dataverse categories?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 22 2024 at 13:59):Well, is this a category that we should add to the software for everyone?
Here's where we added a couple categories: adds "Laboratory" and "Research Group" to list of Dataverse categories #3070
shan (Jul 23 2024 at 01:57):@Philip Durbin no, the category is what we need individually, we want to customize the category showed in the system for us
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 23 2024 at 14:02):I see. Well, I would recommend creating an issue asking to make this configurable. Currently these categories are hard-coded.
shan (Jul 25 2024 at 03:36):ok, it would be great if it can be configurable, thanks
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 25 2024 at 10:29):Ok, please feel free to create an issue: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues
Dimitri Szabo (Jul 26 2024 at 09:12):Hello @shan ,
as Philip mentioned the categories are hard coded, there is already an issue : https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9420 , feel free to add details &/or a +1 to it :grinning:.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 26 2024 at 13:05):@Dimitri Szabo thanks, I linked back to this thread from the issue. I had forgotten about it.
Oliver Bertuch (Jan 16 2025 at 09:05):I've just created another issue #11160 as I've been asked to enable using a different term for our internal org units.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 16 2025 at 12:33):Adding "division" makes sense to me. I just left a reply. Thanks.
