@Philip Durbin @Don Sizemore do I memorize correctly that the changes to the metadata blocks have been done with a DB migration? Or do I still need to reload the latest schemas once?

@Oliver Bertuch to my understanding that's always happened by POSTing a TSV to /api/admin/datasetfield/load

I know that we have DB migrations to deal with changes like fields become multiples etc. But I'm not completely sure if we cover all changes...

It's a mix. If only some new controlled vocabulary values are being added (and possibly other small changes) we ask people to reload the updated tsv file.

For larger changes, we write a SQL update script.

OK so better reload to be safe. Thx!
