[Archivesspace_small_archives_users_group] Archivesspace 3.4.0 Bulk Importer Error

[Akofa Ahiable]

Hello,
We're running into an issue with the bulk importer in 3.4.0 and are
wondering if anyone else has come across the same problem.

We created a test import collection using a freshly downloaded version of
the import template from 3.4. When the spreadsheet is imported with the
"validate only" box checked, it is successful and without errors.

When actually imported, almost every top container has a fatal error. It
looks like the importer expects the columns containing the "Text" and
"Folder" data to contain unique values. But these are the "container type"
and "child type" columns respectively, both of which are not only not
unique, they contain controlled values that the importer should be checking
against the ASpace controlled value list. The sole container that does not
error out is one without a child instance entry. And the same container,
when referenced in subsequent rows of the spreadsheet, which do have child
instances, fails.

See attached for an example of the error.

Has anyone else seen something similar to this?

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

Best Akofa
