http://localhost/ticket/1121 <p> It is possible to use the CKAN API to insert JSON format data into package extra values, but this data is displayed in the package edit form. </p> <p> Example: Package <a class="ext-link" href="http://ckan.net/package/hbz_unioncatalog"><span class="icon">​</span>http://ckan.net/package/hbz_unioncatalog</a> in the API the extra value as a list: </p> <pre class="wiki">"extras": {"publishingInstitution": ["http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605", "http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-290"... </pre><p> yet when you edit the package it loses all the quotes and brackets: <a class="ext-link" href="http://ckan.net/package/edit/hbz_unioncatalog"><span class="icon">​</span>http://ckan.net/package/edit/hbz_unioncatalog</a> {{{<a class="ext-link" href="http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-290"><span class="icon">​</span>http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-605http://lobid.org/organisation/DE-290</a>... }}} so when you save the package, the list is mangled into a bad string. </p> en-us http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan_logo_shortname.png http://localhost/ticket/1121 Trac 0.12.3 dread Mon, 06 Jun 2011 11:07:06 GMT http://localhost/ticket/1121#comment:1 http://localhost/ticket/1121#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>wontfix</em> </li> </ul> <p> We don't need to support JSON extras at the moment. </p> Ticket
