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

[Carlos Lemus]

Sorry Brian, the message got cut off. 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

For JSONModel(:agent_person): #<JSONModel(:agent_person)
{"jsonmodel_type"=>"agent_person", "agent_contacts"=>[],
"linked_agent_roles"=>[], "external_documents"=>[],
"rights_statements"=>[], "notes"=>[], "dates_of_existence"=>[],
"names"=>[{"jsonmodel_type"=>"name_person", "use_dates"=>[],
"authorized"=>false, "is_display_name"=>false,
"sort_name_auto_generate"=>true, "uri"=>nil, "primary_name"=>"Goodman",
"rest_of_name"=>"Oscar Baylin,", "dates"=>"1939-",
"name_order"=>"inverted", "source"=>"ingest"},
{"jsonmodel_type"=>"name_person", "use_dates"=>[], "authorized"=>false,
"is_display_name"=>false, "sort_name_auto_generate"=>true, "uri"=>nil,
"authority_id"=>"n 2003051366", "name_order"=>"direct",
"source"=>"ingest"}], "related_agents"=>[],
"uri"=>"/agents/people/import_4cd10c10-330e-4d71-916d-1f354f4e1f89"}>

and here is the code for the plugin
https://github.com/UNLV-Libraries/ArchivesSpace-authority-project/tree/master/unlv_importer

I am still having trouble making it only one name_person instead of two
under the agent person. I appreciate your help, sorry again for the delay
and the double message.

Thank you,
Carlos Lemus
