Studies frontend for creation and edition

Currently, studies are created and edited using a small modal. As more and more information are required, this is moved to a new page /admin/studies/new.

The creation/edition page should have the following fields:

• The current ones: title, description (not mandatory), sessions duration (in minutes), starting/ending dates
• User selection (as before, but also for study creation)
• Tests & typing test selection & ordering
• Informed consent

changed milestone to %0.4: Tests and studies improvements

added Studies & tests To do labels

marked this issue as related to #166

marked the checklist item The current ones: title, description (not mandatory), sessions duration (in minutes), starting/ending dates as completed

marked the checklist item Tests & typing test selection & ordering as completed

marked the checklist item Informed consent as completed

marked the checklist item User selection (as before, but also for study creation) as completed

I added the new elements and moved the modification of a study to a new page.

The links to the backend that were already there are still there. So the modification of the title and description is saved, but not the rest.

One thing/bug I could not figure out is, when creating a study the date is correctly recorded. But when I update a project the variable doesn't change its value. In the component DateInput the date is updated perfectly but doesn't seem to update the parent variable, nothing I tried changed a thing :( . @bridubois maybe you have an idea where the problem could come from ?

Thank you for all your work! It seems really nice.

IMO consent fields should probably be mandatory, or if some study doesn't require them, we can add a on/off checkbox. (@sbibauw)

For the issue you're facing, if you want we can meet 15 minutes earlier tomorrow before the meeting to check that.

A meeting 15 minutes earlier would be really helpful, thank you!

Everything should be good for the frontend part.

Re. consent fields: Yes, they could be mandatory.

Maybe define a placeholder text for each part to fill them with a very basic, generic consent info (either ask GenAI to generate a simple, short placeholder text for each section in French or English, whatever is fine, or just put Placeholder1, Placeholder2, etc. and I'll fill them at some point).

@dvanrossum I've been able to connect it to the new backend logic. You should now be able to use the latest commits. You will probably have to delete the database you have, because I didn't wrote the migrations scripts yet, and the changes are huge.

However, I'm not able anymore to click on the "+" button to add a test to the study. Nothing happens on the frontend at that moment.

Hey! Sorry, between the time I run everything and push surveys back in my db, I didn't saw that you fixed it. I left my commit because it adds back the typing tests, but I don't know if we deal with them another way now, and I should revert my commit ?

I realize that, currently, there is a "Study information" field in "New study/Study creation" as a blank input.

Let's try to systematize this into separate fields:

• Study title -> let's reuse "Title" here
  • Rename "Title" label above to "Study Title"
• Research project -> let's reuse "Description"
  • Rename "Description" label above to "Research Project (title and/or funding of the project this study is part of")
• Organization/University -> new field (simple input)
• Address -> new field (simple input), placeholder: "Place Cardinal Mercier 14, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium"
• Contact Person/Principal Investigator -> new field (simple input)
• Email of PI/Contact Person -> new field (email)

@dvanrossum could you implement that?

Here is this updated version:

We could maybe add "default values" as for the other fields?
