Bugs in current metadata GUI:

[KanghoonJ]

There are three bugs in current metadata GUI:

• 1. Putting negative values in the metadata field has a bug. Entering - first is not allowed.
• 2. Loading a saved metadata file has a bug in retrieving a correct project name.
• 3. To enter x,y,z coordinates, pressing tabs move the cursor a x-z-y order, not x-y-z order.

1. Putting negative values in the metadata field has a bug. Entering - first is not allowed.

What fields don't accept negative values?

2. Loading a saved metadata file has a bug in retrieving a correct project name.

This was recently fixed by @XX-Yin (#783)
You should add "add_default_project_name":false to the ForagingSettings.json file on your ephys rig

3. To enter x,y,z coordinates, pressing tabs move the cursor a x-z-y order, not x-y-z order.

@XX-Yin do you know how to fix this?

@XX-Yin this seems to be related to #510, if any of these items are being addressed there could we close this issue?

[XX-Yin]

This seems to be an independent issue from #510. This is related to the ephys metadata. I think @KanghoonJ is working with an engineer to solve the ephys metadata.

@XX-Yin great, I wasn't entirely sure so thanks for clarifying!

[ellahiltonvano]

@KanghoonJ if this issue is being solved with SIPE separately do we need this issue open?

[KanghoonJ]

@ellahiltonvano @XX-Yin This issue is not currently assigned to SIPE. need to reopen the issue.

Fields related to the angles for probes or camera don't accept putting "-" first.
