[Archivesspace_Users_Group] updating the enumerations file

Mon May 4 10:51:46 EDT 2015

Maura,

If you try to update an enum that isn’t editable it will give a 403 Forbidden.

I think date_label is not editable, so that might explain what you’re seeing.

As Nathan said, these enums are protected through the API.

It seems your choices are something like:
-  Live with the date_label values as they are
-  Flip the ‘editable’ boolean in the database and then proceed to update through the API
-  Edit the schema file for enumerations to make ‘editable’ not readonly, then set editable to true through the API, and then do the updates you want through the API

Note that there may well be good reasons for these enums to be non-editable, so you may run into trouble at some point if you start changing them.

Good luck!

James

We’re trying to do so, and while I’ve been able to get the file to successfully load (it doesn’t throw an error, which is what happens if the formatting is improper), it also doesn’t, like, *stick*. I still see the default values. Is this a cacheing/indexing/whatever problem? Is there a step beyond updating the file that I should know?
