When editing metadata in BFF, if the datasource is anything other than AICS (e.g., an uploaded csv or other url), the changes will not persist when the page is refreshed or url is shared

How should we inform the user about this? For example:

  • Give a dismissable warning when closing/opening the edit modal? (e.g., Edits to local CSVs are temporary; file metadata must be redownloaded to keep changes)
  • Show an asterisk (like some other file editing platforms) to denote that a file has unsaved changes?
  • Show a download button in the query to re-download edited metadata
