Leaving this mandatory would then lead to descr content > that is not very useful. I've read the thread and it seems that the majority is in favor of "option B". I will yield my earlier preference for option A in favor what some in the group have argued to support option B. If you have objections against "option B", please raise them in the next few days, with arguments. I aim to discuss what has been said with the other chairs next week (or the week after if the discussion continues). Summary option B: - remove all mandatory populated 'descr:' attributes (the first descr: of an object) - change 'descr:' to be an optional attribute This change would essentially make 'descr:' and 'remarks:' the same. Kind regards, Job
