[IX] Edit of Entities in regular Uwazi flow

Edit of Entities in regular Uwazi flow

Currently, editing an entity (at least the tile), does not reflect on the Metadata Extraction panel. When you edit a title inside an entity and go back into the extractor, the values listed are the previous ones. Is this expected? What is the flow of editing the entity inside and outside of IX Panel.

That is a very good point. While having a good 1-1 relationship with the titles is important, it is not critical. On the other hand other updates are critical:

• The entity was deleted
• The value of the property the extractor is pointing to changed
• The entity has a new document

[RafaPolit]

How is this not critical? If I have an entity named "Original Name" with a document and an extractor configured for Title, I go into the extractor and see:

DOCUMENT	Context	Current Value / Suggested value
Original Name	Bla, bla	Original Name / Suggested Name

Now, I go into the entity, change the name to "New Name", go into the extractor and see EXACTLY the same thing as before.

I now have no idea which entity (and again the document vs entity dilema mentioned in the other issue) was "Original Name". I have no entity named "Original Name" in my collection.

I think this is the case of your second bullet point, with the added problem that the column use to reference the entity has also changed (that is, both the value of the property the extractor is pointing to, but also the property used to identify the row, which in this case are the same)

It is not critical because:

• It only affects titles
• Users are not changing title around often
• When users retrain, all these titles get updated

So yes, this can happened and is not desirable, but it is not critical. That said, if we need to trigger automatic updates on the suggestions when other of the data changes (ie. the scenarios I mentioned above), then sure, let's fix it along with the rest of the cases.

[RafaPolit]

Check that changing properties OTHER than title is also leaving obsolete data in the current values, or if they are updating correctly and it is only Title that has this peculiarity.
