Sinopia Known Issues

08/09/2019: update of this page is in progress to reflect Known Issues as of Release 1.0

See the issue lists (Sinopia Editor, QA current issues, Profile Editor, general) for complete list of known issues.

Linked Data Editor: Resource Templates tab

When you click the ID or Author column to resort the list, it sorts in descending alphabetical order instead of ascending as expected. Issue 634
After importing a Resource Template, the button to import a Resource Template may be inactive. You have to wait for the entire list of Resource Templates to refresh, or click to another tab and click back to Resource Templates, before the button is reactivated.
Browser refresh is required to see new Resource Templates that have been uploaded by another user (or in another session) after you started your session (NOTE: this is not an issue to be fixed; this is the expected behavior given the architecture of the application)
When a revised Resource Template is uploaded, the revised version does not show up in other existing browser sessions, even after a browser refresh. WORKAROUND: hard refresh your browser (hold down shift key and click the refresh icon in your browser) to see the latest list of available templates. (This issue will require significant development effort to fix, so is not expected to be fixed.)

In Safari, when a dropdown list extends over the page footer, you can't select values from the dropdown. Issue 1173

All Linked Data Editor actions require login. The desired behavior is to be forced to log in only when doing actions that require login (importing resource templates, saving data). Issue 495
Sign out button doesn't always sign you out. Issue 556

last updated 9/13/19

Clicking the back button in your browser erases your entries. Issue 158
We are not adding or updating the list of available vocabularies for "Select Resource" and "Select Property". Workaround: profile creator can manually enter any class or property URI and label into the necessary fields. Issue 182
The list of available lookups in "Add Value / URI" dropdown does not update automatically when a new authority is available to Sinopia. Issue 162
While it's possible to add a default value and/or default URI in a property template with type = resource, Sinopia ignores those, as a single default value for a nested Resource Template does not make sense.
