Reconciling against a Wikibase instance with federated properties (from Wikidata) fails at the point of value entry

[lozanaross]

When connecting OpenRefine to a private Wikibase instance on WBStack which includes federated properties, reconciliation and property selection works fine, but when you need to enter values in the schema, the value entry field does not appear.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. First, connect to this reconciliation endpoint: https://labs.tib.eu/reconcile/lodwgfedereated/ with this manifest: https://labs.tib.eu/reconcile/lodwgfedereated/manifest.json
2. Then, reconcile some items (feel free to add test items, this is a blank test wiki, no real data shall be harmed).
3. Finally, try to build a schema.

Current Results

It is not possible to enter values in the statements.

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to complete schema built just like with other Wiki instances.

Versions

• Operating System: Windows 10

• JRE or JDK Version: whatever was packages with the latest release
• OpenRefine: OpenRefine 3.5

Fascinating! Thanks for trying it out. This is likely to be relevant for the SDC project since Commons also has federated properties. To investigate as part of #4269.

This should be solved now, but we might need more documentation about how to write a manifest using the new format, for the federation scenario to be exposed properly.

This is now supported and requires a new manifest to be written for the Wikibase instance. This is documented here:
