File upload configuration

Currently, when uploading files through the CDF web UI we have the option to provide the dataset ID.

It would be nice to replace the textbox with a dropdown showing the dataset names we could select from (similarly to other places on the web UI where the dataset can be filtered). It is a bit annoying to have to search the dataset first, copy the ID and paste it to the textbox.

Some more ideas to consider:

  • dropdown or search-box to select label(s) as well, common for a group of files to be uploaded
  • option to provide metadata key + values, common for the group of files to be uploaded
  • option to set the filename (or the filename + some common suffix) as the external ID for each file from the group of files to be uploaded, or set to an arbitrary string if it is just a single file

Hi @Anita Hæhre, thank you for moving the post to the right place (I submitted it to the wrong section and could not edit after, I did not want to create it again). Now it can get more visibility, thank you!
