Description

Because of the generic form functions, which is generally a good approach to manage the complex model relations, we ended up with very long if/else constructs that can get quite confusing.
This concerns especially the functions at openatlas/forms:
  • process_form_data()
  • process_origin_data()
  • populate_update_form()
  • additional_fields()

After testing a new approach with similar software we decided to remedy this with creating form manager classes that handle specific entity (and link) forms individually instead of using growing if/else constructs for all forms, before adding functionality in this area.

Miscellaneous refactoring
  • Moving logger from app to g
  • Solving some non top level imports
  • Replacing if/else with or
