  • Converted Section 19 Keyword List generation.

    • Added “Required” column to keyword listing in Section 19

    • Previously, this keyword list was generated using a CSV file and some python code to generate the “Section Reference” list.

    • This CSV file has been replaced with the larger “schema” YAML file, which contains a larger set of metadata about each keyword. The Python code for generating the keyword list in Section 19 has been updated to read from this schema file.

    • Future updates to add or remove keywords should be done in the schema file. solarnet_metadata/data/SOLARNET_attr_schema.yaml
