[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Accession CSV Subject Import

[Brian Hoffman]

Hi Maura,

No, there’s nothing else. Generally the keys in the callbacks section (:date_1 => etc) are used to tie things together with the schema. Where there are multiple objects created per row, there’s an optional :record_type key in the callback config that does the mapping (:record_type => :date).

Does that make sense?

Brian

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.)

I'm not getting an error, it just appears that the subject field keeps being over-written until the last subject, then imported.
