Add Backend Support for Changing Citation Date

[posixeleni]

In order to support #2297 we will be building in backend support in the database to point to allow users the flexibility to use a different date in the citation other than the default dataset publication date.

We will also apply this update to the following two Dataverses:

1. Use Distribution Date in the citation for IFPRI Dataverse https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/IFPRI ( @sbarbosadataverse will confirm if this is for their entire Dataverse or for only a subset)

2. Use Distribution Date in the citation for Murray

@scolapasta @posixeleni
FYI that IFPRI requested an update on this today and I have sent them this issue number

[scolapasta]

A backend has been added for this - as well as an API call:

PUT -d $datasetFieldTypeName http://$SERVER/api/datasets/$id/citationdate?key=$apiKey

this will allow users with Publish Dataset permission to set.

Once 4.3 is released what is our plan for fixing the citation dates for all of IFPRI's datasets? @sbarbosadataverse @scolapasta

@posixeleni I can see some docs at the top of https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/3000/files if that helps. @scolapasta would know for sure.

[posixeleni]

Sorry should have clarified if there will be a way to do a batch change for all of IFPRI's data citation dates.

[pdurbin]

Well, given that the (proposed, not merged yet) solution is an API endpoint, this means a script could be written for a batch change.

[scolapasta]

Yes, @pdurbin is correct, all we would need is to get the list of the datasets that need to use this, then run the API for each. Could be written as a script.

Tested both put, delete, distributionDate and publicationDate, draft and published (does not create a new draft), with publish and without publish permission. Works, closing.
