Extend Datastore Data Dictionary to hold more values

[Gokul Ram]

hi

I'm running a CKAN 2.10.3 in Ubuntu 22.04 VM.

In my application, the datastore data dictionary currently have 3 input fields, namely Type Override, Label and Description.

We would like to add an extra field to the Data Dictionary called rdfType that stores string values.

Is there a way to add an extra field to the Data Dictionary as specified above?

Please let me know

Thanks

Gokul

Check out this PR on xloader where its looking at adding a feature flag for removing whitespace which is kinda what you want to do

Hope this helps you in your learning journey

Hi 

thanks for the input. However I dont feel that this will help in my case.
Maybe I was not clear, hope this image helps to understand better.

As shown in the image, I need to have an extra field to add the rdfType values to the attributes of the dataset resources.

https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.9/extensions/adding-custom-fields.html   shows us how to add extra metadata fields to the dataset packages. I needed something similar for the Data Dictionary.

Thanks in advance
