[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD importer changing punctuation in unitids

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi, yes totally understand.


I think this is the situation, but I'm not 100% sure...it does seem a little odd and probably not intentional.

Ah, thanks, our developer got in with the question first. Left hand, meet right hand. ;-)

Hi,



yes, I think there is a conversation about this here:

Hello,

       There may be an obvious reason for this, but I don't know what it is. When creating Archival Objects, the EAD importer converts periods in <unitid> values to underscores in the corresponding archival_object.component_id.  E.g., "4." Loads as "4_"  I don't see this noted in the EAD-Import-Export-Mapping-20130831 document.



Our developer tells me it's happening here: https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/app/converters/ead_converter.rb#L137<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_archivesspace_archivesspace_blob_master_backend_app_converters_ead-5Fconverter.rb-23L137&d=CwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=JKUSUWdXrLBGP_rNc_JtcJNO9wvGRzWSZ2uoZzcT59w&m=pzsQXpBs7Z3zLYfYFMCF2u0feNbvLSPr-ixJQIB32FQ&s=KT_GxYbLkWZzrsomZSYCrLIFlLQ5y6ZmrFO6j86n6aM&e=>



Do you know why this is being done? Can we safely disable it without causing problems?



Thanks,

Robin
