Edit bitstream page configuration

[Bill Tantzen]

In DSpace 7, when adding a new bitstream to an existing item, I would like to populate the Bundle dropdown with a list of types, for instance, METADATA, THUMBNAIL, CC-LICENSE, TEXT, ORIGINAL, etc.  Currently, the dropdown appears to contain only the bundle types that exist in the item already (I think?).

Can somebody point me to the documentation that describes how to configure this dropdown?

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

If you are on 7.3, on the Edit Item's "Bitstreams" tab, if you click the "Upload" button, you'll see a screen that says "Select a bundle or input new bundle name".  In that textbox, you can enter *any* new Bundle name and click "Create Bundle".  So, it's not limited to the default bundle types...you can enter any text there to create a new bundle.

Tim,

Right, my users were hoping to have the dropdown populated with some common bundle names, but typing them in will work as a fallback.

Hi Bill,

Once you create the Bundle in the Item, it will be prepopulated the next time you use that form.   By default that list of Bundle options is populated by the existing bundles...so, once a new bundle is created it will appear in that list.

I just discovered this setting in config.yml:

# The default bundles that should always be displayed as suggestions when you upload a new bundle
bundle:
  - standardBundles: [ ORIGINAL, THUMBNAIL, LICENSE ]

which seemed really promising, but still, the default bundles in my dropdown are just ORIGINAL and LICENSE.  Does this setting not do what it implies, or is it a bug?

I might add that on the demo site, the default bundles are indeed the same as the array given by the standardBundles setting.  However, I note that the version there is 7.4-SNAPSHOT, instead of the 7.3 that I am using...  Maybe this is not fully implemented in 7.3

Hi Bill,

Good find!  I completely forgot about that new configuration...and yes, it is what you are looking for.  It *was* added in 7.3 in this PR: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/1605

So, it *should* work in 7.3.  As you noted it works on the demo site.

Nope, I still have only the two bundles I mentioned.  But 7.4 will be the earliest we go public with 7.x, so I'm going to assume I'll be good then.
