[Archivesspace_Users_Group] "Range" date type still an option in RDE

[Lora Davis]

Hi folks,

Putting this here mostly to alert you all to this, but if others have found
quick work arounds to this issue please chime in.

I just submitted ticket AR-1333
<https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1333> noting that "range"
still appears as a valid date type option in the rapid data entry screen.
 (See attached screen shot.)  This, of course, is a problem since range is
not a valid date type.  However, the bigger issue (to me) is that when
someone selects "range" as the date type, the resulting archival object is
created entirely without a date type (which isn't allowed).

We had a wonderful volunteer dutifully entering folder after folder of
information via RDE using the "range" date type, and we now have hundreds
of folders without a date type.  Whenever one goes to make any changes to
these existing archival objects (say, add a scope note or an extent) the
archival object cannot be saved since there is no date type!
