Pain point: no drop down of controlled vocabularies for "Affiliation" for dataset authors

[youssefOuahalou]

Hi I hope you're fine,
When I want to add a new dataset, I have this error. I edit the .tsv file to add a drop-down menu. And I enter these two command curl to reload them:

-curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/datasetfield/load -X POST --data-binary @data/metadatablocks/citation.tsv -H "Content-type: text/tab-separated-values"

-curl -H "X-Dataverse-key:*******************

" -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -d "["citation"]" http://localhost:8080/api/dataverses/:root/metadatablocks

-curl http://localhost:8080/api/admin/index/solr/schema

Hi @youssefOuahalou, we don't recommend editing that file, as it's pretty core to the functioning of Dataverse.

That being said, we should do a better job of allowing this, but it will need to be part of a larger redesign, which we're tracking in #6030. I'm going to close this as a duplicate of the third bullet there:

"I want depositors to select from a list of people provided by LDAP (or another system) for fields such as author, contributor, producer"
