Metadata is edited in line in the PMI. I'm going to call this one FIXED. |
Created attachment 179896 [details] screenshot showing the problems When setting values for project metadata using the portal is a bit confusing. You navigate the various projects, then maintain metadata, choose the value you want to edit and then the page jumps quite a bit, all values you were looking at disappear (disorientation) and what shows up is a box that very obscurely references the variable you are looking to set. I'll attach a screenshot of what I mean. Points to note: - the box title is Eclipse Projects. I was actually trying to set a value in the Equinox project which is part of RT. Neither Equinox or RT appear anywhere. - The value i'm setting is "articleurl". This is presented in light gray plain font whereas it is surrounded by lots of other text with several bold/dark text bits. The net is that I completley missed that this is where the value was to be set and had to try several times before noticing this box as something related to my task
