[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problems with Previous Location [Archivesspace_Users_Group Digest, Vol 15, Issue 50]

Mon Nov 3 15:39:53 EST 2014

Hi Emma,

This was one of our questions a few months ago too (here's my original post
from July 8, below). There is an open ticket on Pivotal Tracker here:
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/s/projects/386247/stories/74828824

We haven't moved to v1.1.0 yet, so I'm not sure if anything has changed in
the new version. I didn't see it on the features/bug list for the latest
release, though...

Hope this helps,
-Kate

Hi All,

I'm looking for some guidance on the use of the "Temporary" field in a
Location record. It is a non-required field and has four optional values in
the drop-down menu (Conservation, Exhibit, Loan, Reading Room).
Interestingly, it seems to become a required field when adding a Location to
an Instance and setting the Location status to "Previous".

We would like to record historic ("Previous") locations for some Instances,
but receive this error message if the linked Location does not have data in
the "Temporary" field:

*"Status - cannot be previous if Location is not temporary"*

The four values in the location_temporary controlled value list are fixed
and cannot be modified, and we have locations that don't really fit under
any of those four types. Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation?

Would it be possible to make the location_temporary list editable, or to
allow a "Previous" status without a "Temporary" value?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Kate
