Add date to each line of annotation in the form

Add to the right-most part of the form

Add actual date instead of icon

Name of column: Date

This is linked to a known issue geneontology/noctua#357 where we want to have at least two dates: the creation date and modified date.

[vanaukenk]

I think we should re-visit this ticket when we've sorted out annotation history tracking, as that will likely influence what and how we show in Noctua.

Feedback from Dmitry (MGI):

It would be nice to be able to sort the annotations on the Noctua form table according to 'Date last modified'.

@tmushayahama - we can discuss further on the workbenches call.

This might be further complicated by the discussion of dates that we had on the IMPORTS call on Oct 26, 2021.
geneontology/minerva#397

From 2021-11-19 workbenches call:

For now, we'll go with the date display at the highest level of the table, i.e. Activity Unit, BP only, CC only, of each table entry. That date will correspond to the most recent date at which any piece of information in a given block was changed.

Testing model on noctua-dev: http://noctua-dev.berkeleybop.org/editor/graph/gomodel:619bece100000030

It doesn't look like the date is updating in real time, so we still need to discuss on a workbenches call.

This date issue has come up again in feedback from @LiNiMGI. It would be really nice that when a field is modified, there was a date indication showing the date of the modification. My impression is that curators use this as both a sanity check and an indication of staleness.

More weirdness with the behavior of dates. On the 29th of April, @LiNiMGI edited an annotation for the MGI marker H2ax. When she saved her work, all of the annotations for that gene now displayed April 29th. It looks as though behind the scenes that dates are behaving correctly, but on the form they are now misleading showing that every line was changed.

OK, I think this is how the weirdness with the behavior of dates of the MGI marker H2ax happened:
When I was entering some annotations through the noctua form, I opened up the graph view, added a extension (that was not available in the form view) to one of my annotation in the graph, saved the graph.
When i went back to the form view, refreshed the form, all the annotation dates for H2ax were changed to April 29th.

Thanks for the additional info @LiNiMGI
I'll discuss again with @tmushayahama

[vanaukenk]

This work has been done on the Noctua form 2.0 table.

According to @LiNiMGI, this is still not working correctly. I suggest we meet with her and share a screen.
