Add original source of the data to metadata.json in project download #1045
Comments
#512 describes storing file source as a column in the data (and a problem whereby this is not populated for JSON from URL). I'd like the file source(s) to be stored as project metadata (not data columns) and output when the project is saved in Open Refine project format, in the |

This was addressed as part of #1221 which was included with OpenRefine 2.8 in November 2017, although the filename/source URL is buried in a blob of JSON which makes it pretty hard to spot. It probably deserves its own line in the "About" display up toward the top, but we can create a separate issue for that. |
