Metadata record gets overwritten by another one

[stegherr]

Using Mozilla Firefox version 3.5.5 this happened as a user wanted to keep open two metadata records at the same time to compare them and transfer data.

To reproduce the bug:

1. Create a new metadata record (Administration -> New metadata). Make sure you are using the "Default view". Fill in a few parameters and use as a title "Data filled in". Click on Save and close.
2. Create a second metadata record in the same way (no need to fill in any parameters). Use the title "Data empty".
3. Open another Firefox window:
   • In the first window open the record called "Data filled in", select edit and go to Advanced view,
   • In the second window open the record called "Data empty", select edit and go to Advanced view too,
4. Then on the "Data empty" record, go to the Identification tab and do the same for the other record,
5. Leave both records by pressing the Cancel button and close one window again,
6. Both metadata records are identical now.

Yep - session can hold just one metadata record at present for editing.

Looking into holding more than one record in session for editing.

Thanks.

Ok, cool! Maybe a quick fix for the time being would be to allow only one record to be edited at a time? Not sure, if that can be done easily though.
