I think there is an error in displaying the section policy to which an article is assigned in the metadata of an article.
I have a multi-journal installation with OJS 3.1.2. Several journals have different sections and in them have different section policies defined.
It is expected that the metadata of the article will show the section policy to which the article is assigned, but currently all section policies are shown regardless of which policy the article is assigned to, this is creating some confusion among editors and managers.
I have made tests and in the part to make the shipments to the journal if it works correctly the Selector of section and if you assign a section that has policy defined the sample correctly, leaving hidden the rest of section policies.
In the image it can be clearly seen.
As we can solve, so that in the metadata it shows only the section policy to which the article is assigned.
I found the same problem.
And I did not find a simple solution and decided to add such a script to the code
templates/controllers/modals/submissionMetadata/form/issueEntrySubmissionReviewForm.tpl after line 49 <script type="text/javascript"> var p = document.getElementById('sectionId') p.onchange=function(){ var p = document.getElementById('sectionId') for(var i=0; i<p.length; i++){ var g = document.getElementsByClassName('section section-policy section-id-'+p[i].value) if(g.length>0){ g[0].style.display='none' } } var g = document.getElementsByClassName('section section-policy section-id-'+p.value) if(g.length>0){ g[0].style.display='' } } var p = document.getElementById('sectionId') for(var i=0; i<p.length; i++){ if(p[i].selected!=true){ var g = document.getElementsByClassName('section section-policy section-id-'+p[i].value) if(g.length>0){ g[0].style.display='none' } } } </script>
