Bug #4717
closedGrey-out Annotation menu options when not-applicable
0%
Description
If a column is currently selected that is not part of an Observation, it makes no sense to add or remove a Context from it.
To implement this, we'll have to introduce some rules-based table selection events in the Annotation Plugin. In certain cases it might be ambiguous what might be allowed or not, but those are likely to be fringe cases.

Here are the current scenarios:
1. When you first open Morpho (no data package is open)
-Only Search Annotations... is enabled
2. Open a datapackage
-Search Annotations... remains enabled
-Save Annotations... is enabled (I know there's consternation around this potentially confusing item)
3. Select a data column (header, not the cell)
-Everything is enabled.
For #3 there is a case where a multiple selection is required (merging measurements under the same observation). If you invoke the merge action with only a single column, an information message is presented saying that you need to select more than 1 column.
