Hi Ben,

No, with the current digital object importer, you can’t do that.

I've set this up according to the import mappings, which seem to indicate I should use the parent digital_object_id for the each row's digital_object_id, then use digital_object_component_id for the component level identifier values. Even so, I get an error on import (see attached screenshot).

A use case might be we digitize 100 audio cassettes related to a collection, and then import a modified metadata spreadsheet (somewhat unsatisfying, obviously) to create digital objects. I don't think it will be feasible for us to move through these 100 new digital objects one by one attaching them to archival objects.
