Computational Workflow metadata block bug: links don't link

[kmika11]

In the Computational Workflow metadata block, the field for "External Code Repository URL" requires a valid URL, but then does not present a link in the UI.

• When does this issue occur?
  When adding a URL to the "External Code Repository URL" field in the Computational Workflow metadata block.

• Which page(s) does it occurs on?
  The dataset page, under the Metadata tab.

• What happens?
  Plain text is displayed.

• To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
  All users.

  A clickable link to be displayed that takes the user to the URL location.

In the metadatablock's TSV (see copy on Google Sheets), the field's "fieldType" is url, so it accepts only that. But its "displayFormat" is empty, where we would normally have something like <a href="#VALUE" target="_blank">#VALUE</a>, so that the URL is displayed as a link.

So I think we'd want to add <a href="#VALUE" target="_blank">#VALUE</a> for its "displayFormat". Then follow the steps for reloading the metadata block.

@jggautier yep, sounds right. We'll also want to update the version in git, of course: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/develop/scripts/api/data/metadatablocks/computational_workflow.tsv

Ah, yeah updating that TSV file, not the Google Sheets copy, is what I meant. Once that TSV file is updated, I could update the Google Sheets copy.

@cmbz FYI, @kmika11 made a pull request...

• convert workflowCodeRepository field into a clickable link  #10441

... so I advanced it to "ready for review" and removed this issue (10339) from the board, like we usually do. It was in "this sprint".

I'm not sure if Katie has permission to do this on her own but we could obviously adjust perms for the future.

Thanks for the pull request, Katie!
