Edits were made to the rapidoc API documentation to make it more complete and user friendly.
Bug Fixes in the FDE
A variety of bugs were fixed based on FDE version 2 beta testing. These include:
Country filters were not in alphabetical order in the FDE (DATA-2073)
FDE interface disappeared when "Daily" or "Weekly" reporting schedule was selected in the Price domain (DATA-2121)
Clear Search and Save Search buttons would not appear for the Period date fields (DATA-2156)
The Metadata tab was not working correctly in the Crop and Trade domains (DATA-2185)
Population Indicator Viewset search is not working (DATA-2110)
The populationindicator endpoint in the API was working inconsistently. This has been fixed and there are now a functional search and page size filters on this endpoint.
The Staple Food Price data downloaded from the website is not updated correctly (DATA-2184, DATA-2204)
Staple food price data was not updated due to an error with cached requests not working as expected in FDW. Both issues have been resolved and are now working correctly.
Price Projection data points have same lowerbound and upperbound values for all periods (DATA-2186)
The Price Projection spreadsheets contain different lower and upper bound values for each period date, but these values were showing up as the same in FDW. This was because the two columns were treating them as metadata columns by the FDW. The error has been fixed and upper and lower bound values in FDW are the same as in the spreadsheet.
