[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [archivesspace] importing CSV questions

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Cassie,


Thanks for the email.


Just looked into this a bit...seems to be running into a couple of issues here.


First, it looks like the importer is not accepting "TRUE" or "FALSE" values for booleans. However, I changed "TRUE" to 1 and it worked. I will look into this a bit more, but I think this is a bug.


For the names, the accession importer does not currently import agent records. I believe we are working on this now, as there was an issue of duplicate agents being imported.  I will look into this...



best,chris.

Subject: [archivesspace] importing CSV questions

I'm doing some test importing for accessions using the provided CSV.  My column headers all match and I've kept the order of the columns the same.  I'm attaching my csv file.

Accession records are being created and most fields are mapping except the following:

restriction fields
line 2: accession_restrictions_apply is entered as "true", but the checkbox is not checked after import
line 3: accession_access_restrictions and accession_restrictions_apply are both true, yet neither imports

any agent record fields
Agents are not being created or linked to the accession records.
I have specified the agent_type as "agent_person" according to the mapping.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Cassie
