[Archivesspace_Users_Group] rapid data entry behaviors

We would also like to voice our enthusiasm for the ability to view and edit
previously-entered data in the RDE screen.
On the topic of RDE, we've just encountered a speed bump with the Dates
Label for components we're entering using RDE. For almost all components,
we will want to use the value "Creation" in the required Dates Label field.
Right now Dates Label is not available as an RDE column. Since it's a
required field, ArchivesSpace seems to automatically assign the value of
"Other" to these components, which means we then have to go in to each
archival object record and manually change the Dates Label to "Creation."
Can we please request that Dates Label be added as an RDE column?
Thanks,
-Kate
