Add Plot - allows duplicate plot naming/numbering about capstone HOT 10 CLOSED

Add 2, delete the first one, and another.

P1
P2

delete P1

P2

Add another plot

P2
P2

This produces the error I'm guessing?

from capstone.

Yes sir.

Hmm, this one might be though.

Do we add the next plot in to fill the gap?
p1, p3, p4, p5
next plot added is p2, plot after that is p6

Do we re-name / re-order all the plots to fill in the gap?
p1, p3, p4, p5 -> re-order to p1, p2, p3, p4
next plot added is p5

Do we ignore the gap and continue the numbering based on the highest entered plot?
p1, p3, p4, p5
next plot added is p6 (p2 is never filled unless p3, p4, and p5 are deleted first)

Do we take away the automated number and give the user a text field to fill out and specify the plot number? (This might make the most sense, all the other options may be unexpected behaviour for the user.) This would require minor error checking to implement. (Make sure the number they enter wasn't used already in that transect.)

Opinions?

Should users have the ability to delete plots other than the last one created?
We give them the opportunity to edit the plot and the observations.

This is a tricky one.

That's a good idea as well.

I checked to see if you could put a single tableview row into editing mode
(to make it clear to the user that they can only delete the one row), but
it doesn't look like this is possible. You can only put the whole table
into editing mode.

Scrap that last comment. I got it to work so only the last entry in the table can be removed. Pushing it for review, but I think this will be the best solution.

Letting the user delete any plot they want really disrupts the order - all plots are in a line across the transect. The "only delete last plot" solution makes a lot of sense.

from capstone.

That is really cool! I think that may be the best solution at this time.

*One thing I noticed, and I'm not sure if it was like that before, but when the user adds a new plot the plot observation is the same as the previous one but zeroed out.

Just tested that Blair, if I add observations to 4 different plots, the creation of a 5th plot includes all observations.

Closing for now. We can revisit if Tory doesn't like the one at a time approach.
