Query for project partners

[jmfrenzel]

As an RDMO user I want to enter the 'name contact person(s) for data management questions' or 'institutional policy' for a research project which has no project partners.

In the rdmo catalog these questions are stored under 'project partners' (collection), which is confusing to the user, because the "applicant" party of the project

• i) may not recognize themselves as as partner
• ii) there are no partners in the project

and therefore may assume to not answer this question does not have a project partner.

Suggestion:

1. create a new question set with hosting two questions for the project owner/ host

• <question dc:uri="https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/questions/rdmo/general/project-partners-partner/contact">
• <question dc:uri="https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/questions/rdmo/general/project-partners-partner/rdm_policy">

2. create new question which queries for the project partners. If there are partners, present the questionset

• <questionset dc:uri="https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/questions/rdmo/general/project-partners-partner">

I have nothing against it, but I would suggest a simpler solution. We could just rename any occurrence of "Partner" within the questionnaire with something like "involved institution", starting from question rdmo/general/project-partners-partner/name. As a consequence, the user must create at least one institution and then all proceeds as before. If I oversee anything, feel free to phone :)

i wolud be fine with @Zack-83 idea

In a first and rather easy to apply step an update of the help text of the question-set could improve the user experience such (Addition to the existing help text are marked in bold letters ):
Please fill in the form for each project partner. If no partners are involved in your project, create at least one "Partner" to enter the required information below. The different project partners will be referred to in following questions. You can add a new project partner using the green button. Once created, you can edit or delete project partners using the buttons in the top right corner of the tabs.

Possibly solved by #574

@Zack-83 #44 (comment) suggested to change the help text of the question-set in catalogs rather than changing rdmo code as proposed in rdmorganiser/rdmo#574 (comment)
