Geospatial Block is empty when using a Dataverse Template to Add a Dataset

[posixeleni]

Reported by a user when they tried to create use a Dataverse Template when they went to add a Dataset (in Chrome Browser) in https://dataverse-demo.iq.harvard.edu/view-datataverse/GSDTest:

When clicking to expand the Geospatial Metadata block there is nothing within it (no metadata).

I am able to see the same issue. The Geospatial block should not be showing up at all since those fields were selected as "optional".

Question. Did they select any fields as required or hidden or option in that block on the General Information page?

Yes they had selected the following as optional and hid the rest:

But they should still see the Optional ones, correct?

I should add that the Geospatial Metadata block is greyed out when using the template. When I created the template, the block was there, and not greyed out. .

@sekmiller would you please look at this issue with how templates are showing up when someone goes to Add a Dataset?

[muelle12]

I also just noticed that the one optional field in the GSD Metadata block, Core Studio Coordinators, does not appear when one goes to Add a Dataset. I could imagine this is connected to the issue above, as the Geographic Metadata fields I selected for the template are also only optional.

@muelle12 "optional" fields would not show on Create. They would only show after you initially create the dataset and wish to add/edit additional metadata. The Geospatial block should not be showing up at all Create since those fields were selected as optional. We are working on a fix for this right now.
