Suggestion: Use "default_value: null" for unused fields in IndexSeries #641
Description
In IndexSeries, the data attributes are not used, but the specification only states this in the doc.
nwb-schema/core/nwb.image.yaml
Lines 202 to 218 in 764aa37
An alternative way to ensure the schema more explicitly enforces this is to set default_value: null for these attributes, similar to how value: N/A is already used for the unit attribute:
attributes:
- name: conversion
doc: This field is unused by IndexSeries.
default_value: null
- name: resolution
doc: This field is unused by IndexSeries.
default_value: null
- name: offset
default_value: null
doc: This field is unused by IndexSeries.
- name: unit
value: N/A
doc: This field is unused by IndexSeries and has the value N/A.Edit: Based on discussion, changed original suggestion of specifying value to specifying default_value instead
