Instance record. Add ContributorType in the Instance UI

Hi , I am removing you from the tester assignee field on these because they need to get tested asap, as they are going out in the Q2 release and you are on vacation. You can still do PO acceptance when you get back.

So it made it into folio-testing.aws a while back. For some reason it displays a bit different there:

The contributorTypeId and the new contributorTypeText added to Instance form in a branch. To merge this branch, the back-end change must be merged first:

Thank you for the mock-up .

With that, if you have a contributor that has contributed in multiple ways, you would add a line for each contribution.

This is what we suspect will give fewer challenges if we ever want to search on contributor name + type.

I think we have consensus for this structure.

At present, I believe we don't do much custom mapping from a CQL index to a specific search, rather relying on an implicit relationship between property in the JSON and the index.

Yes. That is precisely the problem.

The CQL should never be tied to the internal structure of the database. It's an abstract query format. As a thought experiment, consider dumping PostgreSQL and returning to MongoDB or something. If we're using CQL right, that's not a problem: we just implement a different CQL-to-backend translation layer.
