Bug #16439
closed
New projects/collections sometimes added to the wrong place
Added by Peter Amstutz over 4 years ago. Updated over 4 years ago.
Description
In workbench 2, sometimes the "New collection" or "New project" button puts the collection or project in an unexpected place. This is either a bug or very bad, confusing UI design.
Reported by customer:
Can be easily reproduced by creating a new collection inside a "Shared with me" project. The same effect for projects.
Related: when a new project or collection is created, Workbench 2 should have an option (or by default?) take you inside the newly created project/collection.

- On project/collection creation, auto-navigate to the newly created resource.
- Allow empty collection (no files) creation.
- On project/collection creation dialogs, show a read only field with the information where the resource will be placed ('Home project', or 'Project <name+uuid>')

The "Location" form entry pushes the "Create a collection" button offscreen for me. See screenshot. The whole layout has way too much empty space but the quick fix is probably to shrink the drag and drop target so the button is visible.
Instead of "Location" maybe label it "Parent project" ?
When you hit "New" and with a "shared with me" folder selected, it seems like it always puts it in the home project? I don't think that's the right behavior. If the folder is read-only, "New" should be disabled or give an error, and if the folder is writable I should be able to create things in it. (I think this is the bug they actually wanted fixed?)

From chat:
- The "+ NEW" button should be disabled when the user's view a non writable folder.
- Make sure the "Run a process" option creates a CR on the desired project.
- Try to make the "files" box's height on the create collection dialog to be dynamic, avoiding a vertical scroll bar on the dialog.

Just to clarify:
The "+ NEW" button should be disabled when the user's view is not a writable folder.
(To put it another way, the NEW button is only enabled when the user's view is a writable folder.)

After some fiddling I've been able to vertically compress the elements of the create collection dialog so that the "files box" doesn't have to have its height reduced. This is because when uploading files with it, it renders a table with rows too tall that would not show much if I reduce its total height, so I think reducing the empty space between elements is better.

- Changes "Location" label with "Parent project" as requested.
- Reduces vertical spacing on form fields to avoid action buttons go outside the dialog viewport.
- Makes the
+NEWbutton (SidePanelButtoncomponent) to only be enabled (aka: clickable) when the user's view is a writable project. - Confirmed that running a process places the CR on the current writable project.

Everything looks great, there's just one issue left. If I try to create something in a "Shared with me" project, it goes to Home instead of the project I have selected.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create two users
2) Log in with user 1, create a project called "shared project" and share it can_write with user 2
3) Log in as user 2. The "shared project" will appear under "shared with me"
4) Click on "shared project" so it is selected in the UI / displayed in the main panel
5) Click on "New"
6) The dialog field "Parent project" will say "Home project" instead of "shared project" like I expect, and indeed that's where it goes.
Expected behavior: since I had "shared project" selected, and it is writable by me, a new collection or subproject should be added there, not to home.

- Fixes parent project placement when using the
