Ability to delete fields from edit modal

[aswallace]

Use Case

Our work so far on the edit modal only allows users to add or edit metadata fields, not remove them completely

Suggest a Solution

Unsure if we need extra UX work on this or if the existing interface can be modified to allow deletions

Relates to #96

A couple thoughts/proposal ideas @aswallace @SeanLeRoy

• I assume deleting isn’t something we want to encourage loudly
• Thinking delete should happen more deeply into the edit flow (not as an initial option)
• Aren’t there some metadata fields we’d want to restrict from deleting? If so, we could “disable” the delete link and offer a tooltip saying cannot delete.
• I'm still noodling on the final delete modal
• Actually not sure if "back" is more appropriate or "cancel" and we just close the modal

This is my first riff so lemme know thoughts please:)

We don't need to hide it or anything - but it doesn't need to be like super obvious I suppose

In your current workflow they wouldn't get to the delete option since it wouldn't be selectable from the dropdown list. Instead, it would be a disable option in the dropdown with a tooltip that says "Not editable" or something

Actually not sure if "back" is more appropriate or "cancel" and we just close the modal
