The metadata editor currently presents the EML ratio and interval measurement scales as a single "Numeric" category. When users select Numeric, show a choice between ratio and interval with a user friendly explanation of the difference.
At a minimum, the editor should show the saved ratio or interval value when editing existing metadata, and save the user's selection as the corresponding <ratio> or <interval> EML element.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users currently can't select an interval scale in the editor, so interval metadata has to be added or corrected outside the web form. Unit alone isn't enough to determine the correct scale in every case because the scale also depends on what the values represent.
This issue blocks #1811. That issue can add defaults for known interval units and Measurement Types once users have a way to override them.
This is a high priority for the ADC datateam, and they frequently need to update the ratio/interval value manually.
