I'm not seeing the submit link on collection landing pages in DSpace7. Is this feature on the road map for future development?
Thank you!

I should probably clarify: I realize we can put a submit link in the intro text to any collection, but what I'm looking for is an automatic link that (a) is only visible to valid submitters and (b) loads the appropriate submission form with the target collection already selected, rather than making the user go through the "New Item -> Select A Collection" step. As seen in DSpace6. ~Amy

Hi Amy,

At this time, this isn't something anyone is working on.  You are welcome to submit a ticket to request it (to https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues), but we'd have to locate a volunteer interested in adding/creating that link.

For now, the behavior is similar to what you have noted.  The expectation is the user can go to "New -> Item".  This pops up a Collection selector.  However, if you are already on a Collection homepage, then the *current Collection* will be listed at the top of that Collection selector (making it easier to quickly select the current Collection).
