From now on, it is possible to directly fill in missing catalog values (as a non-administrator), even if one or more values for other states have already been filled in.

Previously, for example, it often happened that someone entered only a value for Mint under Stamps, after which regular users could only suggest the value for Cancelled and/or Unused to the administrators (with a significant processing time). Now, in that case, the missing values can be entered in the input screen.

To change already entered values, the 'Suggest catalog value' function must still be used (after which it is reviewed by the administrators).

I'm not very happy with that. In Books, the values have a fixed ratio. Users will likely enter values that deviate from the usual ratio.

vertigo For categories with a fixed ratio (such as Books and Comics), all values are automatically filled in based on this ratio when entering the first value. In that case, there will therefore be no missing values. It could only happen with historical entries where values were still missing. That would surface during the review, I assume. We could also automatically fill missing values in one go based on the fixed ratios.

Is that an idea?

I think that is a good idea. But what happens if the entered values in that historical input do not have the correct ratio?

Well, then you'll have to assess that on a case-by-case basis. There might be a legitimate reason for deviating ratios (e.g., extreme rarity in good condition), or it could be that the values were incorrect to begin with. I think we should first see how things go now that users can fill in missing values. We can potentially create such a script after all if it turns out to be necessary.

For the sake of clarity: if you use a fixed value ratio, no deviating ratios are possible,

I disagree with you on that. The fixed value ratio is a 'default' that ensures a) you save time during data entry and b) that there is a consistent ratio for most items. However, that does not mean that deviations are impossible. If almost all copies of a particular book have been damaged, it is quite possible that the value in (nearly) new condition is higher than you would expect based on the ratio to the value in lower condition. If deviation were not possible, we might as well create a single input field and always calculate the rest.

I don't agree with that either. This was never intended to be like that. It is as Tom says:

If virtually all copies of a particular book have been damaged, it is quite possible that the value in (nearly) new condition is higher than you would expect based on the ratio to the value in lower condition. If a deviation were not possible, we might as well create a single input field and always calculate the rest.
