[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Rapid Data Entry errors

[Elia, Marie]

Hi, Lynda,

Thank you! Yes, I had come to the same conclusion, and in fact I just un-did the column re-ordering and that seems to be a workaround.

The problem is, we should be able to exploit all functionality of the RDE. I wanted to fill out all of the sticky fields, move the repeatable columns to the end, add a batch of rows, and then only have to fill out the variable data (in our case: title, date, and folder number). This bug basically invalidates the column reorder and hide column options.

Hi Marie,

Yes, we've encountered the same problem along the way.  I finally figured out that it is when I deselect some of the boxes and use only some of the box choices, reorder them to match our data, and then add a line using the green add a line selection at the end of the line.

I switched to adding bulk lines via the add line option at the bottom of rapid data entry section.  That seemed to prevent the columns from transposing our arrangement.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Lynda

Has anyone else had issues when using Rapid Data Entry where the columns and labels transpose? For example, under "Container 1 indicator," instead of a free text field, I'll get a drop down menu for instance type. (See image below.) Sometimes if I clear my browser cache, that will fix the problem, but today I've cleared it multiple times, logged out and in, etc., and it still does this. I'm using Version v1.0.7.1.
