A challenge with using DEA Maps to share links to our data is that small changes to the Terria config can cause Terria share links to break. This occurs when a layer is renamed (e.g. Coastal/NIDEM > Coastal/Intertidal Elevation) or moved to a new directory (e.g. (e.g. Coastal/NIDEM > Intertidal/NIDEM). Given how frequently we change the structure of the DEA Maps catalogue, this means that Terria share links go out of date quickly, which is problematic as it means our documentation or public-facing websites (CMI and DEA website) go out of date too.
A lot of these issues could be resolved if we included a unique Terria id config option in each of the layers in the DEA Maps Terria config. According to the Terria documentation:
This is could be a pretty simple fix for a big reduction in future effort; see the unique IDs used for the DEA Coastlines Terria config below (although see #588 (comment) for a better suggestion for unique IDs):
Note that I usually use a random hash instead of your example of "dea_coastlines" above - otherwise when things are renamed people often get the urge to change the id as well, if it's a random hash then they usually leave it alone!
