[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Plugin: Custom import mapping for MarcXML Agents, help

[Carlos Lemus]

Sorry for getting back to you so late, I have been attempting to implement
your code. It's concatenating the names to the agent accordingly, however
the names are still separated and I believe it is still looking for a
primary name in that name

Here is an example of the JSON
