[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Accession CSV Subject Import

[Maura Carbone]

Hi Chris,
Any progress on that example? I actually tried to work on it myself, but
I'm not entirely sure which files need to be altered (aside from
accession_converter). Ideally, I want to be able to import multiple
subjects and multiple agents -- I was hoping to copy the date setup (where
there are multiple dates date1 date2 etc.) but I haven't found the file
where the terms (such as date_label_1) are mapped to the date object (and
so on for subject and agents etc.)

Thanks!
Maura
