UI: Allow participant, session, and study data to be edited/ cleared

[smathot]

Add buttons to edit and clear participant_data, session_data, and study_data.

Could you provide more details on where this should be implemented in UI and whether all endpoints for clearing data are available? What is meant by "edit data"?

[smathot]

This data is JSON, so editing would mean showing a text editor that allows you to edit (and clear) the JSON directly, ideally with some kind of validation so the user doesn't accidentally save invalid data. This can be a single component that is re-used in three different scenarios, depending on whether it's participant, session, or study data.

Then as to where this functionality should appear. I would say like this:

• On the Study page, there should be an 'Edit study data' button that opens the JSON editor with the study data (study data corresponds to the data for one study, shared by all participants).
• Also on the Study page, next to each participant, there should be an 'Edit session data' button (session corresponds to the data for one participant in one study).
• On the Participant page, next to each participant, there should be an 'Edit participant data' button (participant data corresponds to the data for one participant, shared by all studies).

Is that helpful?

I think i understand the UI part, but I realised it is not clear to me what is meant by "data" here. Is this about metadata of a participant, study, session? There is already UI to edit metadata of a participant. Or is this about "results" / "data collected from the experiment"? Could you point me to relevant endpoint so that I understand? Or were the columns in the database that store these three types of data are?

Ah sorry, that's indeed not clear. This corresponds to the /sessions endpoint.

• https://github.com/open-cogsci/omm-server/blob/master/app/Controllers/Http/SessionController.js

• session_data → specify both study_id and participant_id

• participant_data → specify only participant_id

• study_data → specify only study_id

So these are generic data fields that the experiments can use to share data in various ways. It's a bit similar to JATOS batch session data, if you're familiar with that concept.

You can take a look at how the client does that in the generic_*_data functions:

Yes exactly, that's what I was going to say.
