Example

Assuming you have a file template_file_list.csv with the following content:

template_part_Example_1.json
template_part_Example_2.json

This will generate the file template_generated.json which will contain the content of the two files concatenated together.

Let’s see the parts:

• template_part_Example_1.json (see below)

{
    "elabftw": {
        "extra_fields_groups": [
            {
                "id": 1,
                "name": "GENERIC_BIDS_SESSION"
            }
        ]
    },
    "extra_fields": {
        "session_id": {
            "type": "text",
            "value": "",
            "group_id": 1,
            "position": 0,
            "required": true,
            "description": "Ex: '01 or predrug or 20231206'"
        },
        "Session duration": {
            "type": "number",
            "value": "",
            "group_id": 1,
            "position": 3,
            "description": "The duration of the session [in minutes]",
            "blank_value_on_duplicate": true
        }
    }
}

• template_part_Example_2.json (see docs/RUN_BIDS.png)

{
  "elabftw": {
    "display_main_text": true,
    "extra_fields_groups": [
      {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Run "
      }
    ]
  },
  "extra_fields": {
    "TaskName": {
      "type": "text",
      "group_id": 2,
      "position": 0,
      "description": "Code name of the task (no space and only alphanumeric characters).\n Ex: 'rest or facesnback or headnodding'"
    },
    "RunNumber": {
      "type": "text",
      "value": "",
      "group_id": 2,
      "position": 2
    },
    "StartTime": {
      "type": "text",
      "value": "",
      "group_id": 2
    },
    "RunComment": {
      "type": "text",
      "value": "",
      "group_id": 2,
      "position": 3,
      "description": "Comment about the subject behavior during the run."
    },
    "TaskDescription": {
      "type": "text",
      "value": "  ",
      "group_id": 2,
      "position": 1,
      "description": "Description of the task"
    }
  }
}

This will generate the following file template_generated.json (see docs/template_generated.png):
