Issue

Hello, I am working on creating datasets in bulk and would like my template guestbook to be attached to each. I have not found a way to include a guestbook in the template JSONs or in the code. Is this an available feature? If not, is there another way to apply a guestbook to every dataset in a collection so that I do not need to do so manually?

Any insights are appreciated! Thanks so much.

@rdhlily hi! Guestbooks are an area of Dataverse that are mostly managed through the GUI. In fact, I believe the only thing you can do via API with guestbooks is download them: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.9/api/native-api.html#retrieve-guestbook-responses-for-a-dataverse-collection

If you'd like the ability, for example, to set a dataset's guestbook via API, please open an issue upstream at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues

We tend to work in small chunks, so issues with smaller scope are better. Please create as many as you need. Thanks.
