[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Issue with Agents/Subjects

[Kottman, Miloche]

Sara,

I submitted this as a bug in ArchivesSpace version 1.4 a couple days ago (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AS-51)

I believe this bug is due to the performance measures implemented that zips up larger sections of the resource record until you specifically open them, i.e. click on the "Please click to load records" message.

I have devised a work around while waiting for the "fix" that you can try.  If you are editing an existing resource (or digital object) record that has 4 or more agent records, the Agent Links section will have the "Please click to load" message.

*         You MUST click to load/display the Agent records, even if you don't plan on editing them.

*         You can then edit any other section of the record and save as usual

If you don't do this, don't panic!  You agent records are still there.

*         Click on the Close Record button to get out of Edit mode

*         Click on the Edit button

*         Click on the "Please click to load" message

*         Your Agent links should be restored

Hope this works for you,

--Miloche

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Issue with Agents/Subjects

I am having an issue with editing agents and subjects in a finding aid. They are disappearing. I have agents entered, but when I attempt to save the collection, I get errors saying that those fields are blank (and if I look at them there, they are blank. But if I view the collection out of edit mode, they are actually still there.) These errors are preventing me from saving changes I want to make to the finding aid, specifically re-adding subjects that randomly disappeared when I was trying to save changes that I made to the collection. Any advice?
Thanks!


Sara
