Hello all,
It is unusual, but I would like to advertise a GitHub issue I just made
about a pretty thorny problem: deciding what should happen when an
expression returns an array (in the "Transform" or "Add column based on
this column" dialogs).
https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/4823
Many different approaches have already been proposed in other issues
(linked from there) so I feel like this is an important design problem.
We need many eyes on it :) In particular those of Thad and Owen who have
thought about it a lot already.
If we solve this, we would be closing one of the longest standing issues
to date (#36, opened 12 years ago), so it is pretty exciting!
This is actually important for current project of Wikimedia Commons
integration in OpenRefine, so let us leverage that momentum to get this
basic issue out of the way!
I think we could keep the discussion on GitHub if you do not mind (to
avoid fragmentation).
Cheers,
Antonin

I'll try to respond by Tuesday after getting back from this past vacation week.
