FAIR Release Notes: 2.38.0
Summary
This release contains a change to the dataset resources feature, resolves a bug with data access requests and introduces further metadata scalability improvements.
Upcoming items
In 2024 FAIR introduced the ability to transfer data set resources to a workspace as part of data transfer.
Following customer feedback we are extending this feature to offer data owners a greater degree of configurability, including the introduction of DAR locked resources that can only be accessed after approved transfer to a workspace.
As part of this change we will be amalgamating datafile and resource management in the FAIR UI, and as a result will be dropping support for URLs as a resource (see FAIR-9130 below), however data owners can still add a URL to a dataset either as a custom link or as a catalogue field.
