Fragile to order of shapes

[mgskjaeveland]

I noticed that the generated form changes if the order of the input shapes is changed. For instance, if the example:Person shape in your example (https://ulb-darmstadt.github.io/shacl-form/#example) is moved as the first node shape in the input, then the generated form ends up only supporting creating a single Person.

Perhaps you should infer what the topmost shape(s) is/are and/or allow the topmost shapes to be specified? (Perhaps you already support this and I have missed it.)

Hi, correct, shacl-form does not try to infer a best matching shape. There a two ways to specify the root shape:

• as attribute data-shape-subject on the HTML element as documted here
• if you bind a data graph and it contains one of these triples:
  • <subject> <http://purl.org/dc/terms/conformsTo> <rootShapeId>
  • <subject> <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <rootShapeId>
    then the referenced rootShapeId will be used

Closing, please reopen if you are still missing anything.
