[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Batch Find and Replace

[Stasiulatis, Suzanne]

Yes. Thank you for clarifying the limits Christine.

I did also try to find and replace textual information. Unfortunately, I got the same error message no matter what I tried.

Hi Suzanne,

The batch find and replace is limited to a single resource, and only a small set of fields - Resource Component Title, Ref ID, Component Unique Identifier, Other Level, or Repository Processing Note; Extent Number, Container Summary, Physical Details, or Dimensions; or Date Expression, Begin, or End - within a resource. In its beta state, I think it's primarily useful for changing text in resource component titles, but there may be others that are using the other options. It cannot be used to populate a field that's not already populated.

If you are trying to find and replace text that's not there, or that only appears in fields other than the ones specified, you will get the "All done, no records modified" message.

Does that help explain the results that you're seeing for the things you've tried?

Hello:

I've tried to run the batch find and replace multiple ways. I always get the message "All done, no records modified." Any suggestions?

Also - Can you populate a field that's not already populated via batch find and replace?

Thanks,

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,



I'm not sure if there's any documentation for this, as it was kind of a "Beta" feature.

Do you have any specific questions about it?
