Configurable entities and the relation schema

[Alfeu Uzai Tavares]

Hello!

When creating new entities and/or relationships, is it necessary to manually add the new relationships in the relation schema?

For example, we added a new relationship between Publication and Person, creating the isAdvisorOfPublication and isPublicationOfAdvisor relationships.

We also configured discovery.xml, and in the front-end added it to the related entities search in our custom person component.

However, no related publications were being displayed..
Inspecting the logs I've found some errors regarding the missing metadata relation.isPublicationOfAdvisor and relation.isPublicationOfAdvisor.latestForDsicovery.
After adding them to the relation schema, removing and re-adding the relationships, the related publications started to show.

Is this the correct approach or there is there some way to automatically update the relation schema when adding new entities and/or relationships?

<ds-tabbed-related-entities-search

[item]="object"

[relationTypes]="[

{

label: 'isAuthorOfPublication',

filter: 'isAuthorOfPublication',

configuration: 'default-relationships'

},

{

label: 'isAdvisorOfPublication',

filter: 'isAdvisorOfPublication',

configuration: 'default-relationships'

},

]"

Hi Alfeu,

We've had the same experience and took the same approach as you - manually adding those fields to the metadata register. We didn't find a way of automatically updating the metadata schema but I'd be interested to know if that is something that should be happening.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi all,

I ended up creating a custom script (extending DSpaceRunnable) to update the relation schema based on the contents of the 'relationship_types' table.
If there is currently no way to update the schema automatically, I can modify the script (remove things specific to our use case) and share it here.

Best regards,

Alfeu U. Tavares
