@alessandratrapani Very minor thing, but it seems as if GitHub is not smart enough to recognize the keyphrase 'Related to Issue #...' when automatically adding the development issue link

I always do 'fix #...', I think I've seen 'resolve #...' work for others

No worries, though - it's easy to add it afterward through the web interface

I wouldn't mind if this were moved to the common utils to be used by any other check (or anyone else) going forward 😃

I want to say the basic structure looks good for checking the data field; there are perhaps some other cases we must consider

The best way to tell will be to add several tests (cases where it should pass without raising a message, cases where it should catch 'emptiness', skips on certain edge cases such as ImageSeries)
