Implement ability to update asset meta data

[AbdullahMuk]

Feature Request

Description

As a USER of the EDC, I want to edit my asset's meta data, so I can keep the assets up-to-date or correct typos/ incorrect information in the description.

Delivery Date to MDS: 15.02.2024

Which Areas Would Be Affected?

• Solution should be implemented across all variants of the sovity CaaS EDC (sovity, MDS, Catena). Not only MDS variant.
• Solution should be implemented across all subscription tiers of the sovity CaaS EDC (CE?, Basic, Professional, Enterprise). TBC with stakeholders.

Why Is the Feature Desired?

As a user of the EDC I do not want to delete an asset and create a new one to change the description.

What problems does that user face that existing functionalities do solve?

As-Is Situation:

• User does not have the possibility to edit an asset.
• When a user wants to add additional information to an existing asset, user needs to delete the existing version of the asset and create a new asset.

How does this tie into the current product?

Describe whether this request is related to an existing workflow, feature, or otherwise something in the product today. Or, does this open us up to new innovative ideas?

• Solution for this feature will be an enhancement to the UX of the existing asset management in sovity CaaS EDC.
• Solution is technical feasible based on the insights gathered in [MS9+] Allowing updates on user-created entities edc-ui#400

Solution Proposal and Work Breakdown

• The EDC supports updates of assets, but these only affect the new contracts. Old contracts won't be updated.
• If the above is a blocker, the solutions are heavy:
  • Connect connectors to the broker and let them update data offers, dysfunctional since contracts can exist for non-available data offers.
  • Let connectors crawl other connectors directly, dysfunctional since contracts can exist for non-available data offers.
  • Let connectors crawl each other OR let connectors update each other on changes, will require custom DSP messages.

EDC Extensions / API Wrapper

Beta Give feedback

1. Add update asset endpoint (should be easy), will probably require some work on the UiAssetMapper
2. feat: editable assets edc-extensions#689

Connector UI

Beta Give feedback

1. Make the Asset Detail Dialog to allow asset editing (should be semi-easy thanks to angular forms)
2. Asset Edit Action on each asset in the Asset Page
3. feat: editable asset metadata edc-ui#617
