Priority
Please assign a priority-label. Unprioritized issues gets sent into a black hole of despair.

Agent data has been added for an incoming collection that will want to find things using this information. Inability to do this makes data migration more difficult.

[AJLinn]

Yes please.

@dustymc I really need this to help me work through some agents for an incoming collection. How hard is it to add this search field?

[dustymc]

Not difficult (has that ever been the limitation?!) but still needs to go through the process (https://github.com/ArctosDB/internal/issues/258), gappy though it may be. (And if you can somehow ram that through now-ish, I'm at a point where I could start working on this...)

Ideally I think this would be combined with #6645 - the searching would likely be much more productive if seeing the results wasn't a couple clicks away.

(And that might reuse the pick format, which also doesn't contain curatorial remarks...)

[Jegelewicz]

Honestly - I don't think #6645 is needed, but I'll let others weigh in.

@ArctosDB/arctos-working-group-officers thoughts on getting this to implementation?

[campmlc]

I support implementing this. I'm not sure #6645 is needed either - especially since it would return far fewer results at a time without scrolling down. Maybe if the interface were cleaned up a bit. But that shouldn't stop #6699.

[AJLinn]

I'm not an officer, and agreed that this would be useful above, so I'll just reiterate my support that the curatorial remarks field would be useful for searching.

[dustymc]

not an officer

At least from my perspective, that isn't required (or desired, unless it's their personal Issue - things are about always more clear when the actual user is involved).

1. I need to know that I've got the scope right (below).
2. I need to know that nobody thinks this is a terrible idea (somehow acknowledge the below and the summary will get moved to dev, where hopefully everyone's got their notifications set up).
3. I think we need to do a lot better on priority (there are certainly one-user things that need built, but probably only after the 19-user things are addressed).

I think maybe that's it? The only real need for officers is if something gets stuck somewhere, when they can swoop in and un-stick it. (And maybe that introduces (0), "I need to know this is actionable" - wonder if that's our biggest bottleneck?)

ANYWAY - somehow let me know if I've got the below correct.

#6699

Summary

Add curatorial remarks as a search term to manage agents.

User Interface Changes

New search option in manage agents.

Data Structure Changes

None.

[Jegelewicz]

To be very clear - we are asking to add that to the "manage" search

NOT the public search

which are indistinguishable by their web address

[dustymc]

very clear

How could I have been more clear? (Because whatever goes to dev should not leave anyone guessing!)

indistinguishable

except for the different letters. :)

yeah - that's a pretty small difference!
