Without this, they need to resort to more difficult methods such as: * cleaning and reloading the database * setting the test datasets to state 'deleted' and also appending a suffix '_00' and incrementing the number until there is no clash of names. Requested for NHSIC. == Implementation == * This could slot into the Action API. * Of course we would need to ensure the user's had been given the specific right to purge. * I suggest we log the full details of the dataset being purged." enhancement assigned critical ckan-backlog ckan ckan none
