Either update data_description.json, or let the transfer service generate it for us

Right now we are making a data_description.json and then uploading it. We can also not make one, and let the transfer service generate it for us.

If we want to update the data_description.json

if you want to continue making the data description on the rig, if you aren't already I suggest you fetch funding information from http://aind-metadata-service/ rather than hard-code it. e.g. http://aind-metadata-service/funding/Behavior%20Platform

The other thing we could do is pass modalities and project name to the DTS and it will take care of it for you.

This means making sure the upload manifest contains the accurate modalities in session.json rather, and project_name

Not urgent. But it would be good to stop hard coding things

@alexpiet Is there a flag or button in the code that says if video is being recorded? I'm having trouble finding it

Wait maybe I'm confused in what I'm doing. Do I need to use the session.json to populate the upload_manifest modalities and project name? Do I need to remove any hardcoded funding information from anywhere or was that only used in the data_description file?
