[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Accession CSV Subject Import

Hi Maura,

Here's the base converter file for accession csv.

</div>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

What I was doing was:
subject_source,subject_term_type,subject_term,subject_source,subject_term_type,subject_term, Unspecified ingested source,Topical,Pepperoni,Unspecified ingested source,Topical,Cheese. Then only Cheese gets created and imported.

Yeah, and I can take a look at how the importer works now as well, I just wasn't sure if it was a known issue, or if there was a specific reason for it.

Thanks!

Hi Maura,


So, you're just adding more subject columns to the CSV? Yes, what you describe about overwriting is exactly what's happening...the CSV importer only allows for one subject per row.


I have a plugin example I started working on last week to show how to tweak the CSV importer...I'll try and finish that up tomorrow and send it out for people to have a look...

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Accession CSV Subject Import
 
Hi all,
I've been working on importing accessions with CSV files, but I've noticed that on import only one subject ever gets brought in (the last one). Is this a bug, or just a current limitation? I'm not getting an error, it just appears that the subject field keeps being over-written until the last subject, then imported.

Thanks,
Maura
