    <title>CKAN: Ticket #972: Merge 'extras' into main package dict rather than having separate key</title>
    <link>http://localhost/ticket/972</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;
Rather than have a separate 'extras' key all the extras fields should be consolidated into the main package dict when presenting the package internally or e.g. via the API.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Why? Extras are really just an artefact of our internal storage model. Clients of the system (both internal and external) should just see a set of key/values with no distinction between extras and non-extras.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="Issues"&gt;Issues&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Possible breaking change to the API (could enforce backwards compatibility by keepings extras for the time being)
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Possible subticket of forms refactoring: &lt;a class="closed ticket" href="http://localhost/ticket/961" title="enhancement: [super] Refactoring of forms, validation and model synchronization (closed: fixed)"&gt;#961&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;
I don't really agree with this. In fact I'd rather move further away from auto-magic key value pairs stored in &lt;a class="missing wiki"&gt;JsonTypes?&lt;/a&gt;. Can we discuss on Skype please?
&lt;/p&gt;

          &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;repo&lt;/strong&gt;
                set to &lt;em&gt;ckan&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;status&lt;/strong&gt;
                changed from &lt;em&gt;new&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;closed&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;theme&lt;/strong&gt;
                set to &lt;em&gt;none&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;resolution&lt;/strong&gt;
                set to &lt;em&gt;wontfix&lt;/em&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
Having thought about this more David Raznick and I have decided to stick with separate extras for the timebeing. Mainly because of internationalisation issues.
&lt;/p&gt;
