[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Status migration advice

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Br Raphael,

No, unfortunately it's not as easy to add fields as in Access since it requires a bit of programming for the web application.

However, the field for processing_status are actually still on the container_management table, so it actually won't require much programing to make a plugin that re-adds the fields. However, of course those values would be the pre-upgrade to v1.3.0 values ( if you've used the Events method, they would not be correct values ). 

Def not a fix for everyone, but there were some people who seemed to be looking for a "I just want that pull-down back and I never used Events" situation. 

Is that something that would help people out?

Chris,

If I can chime in.  How hard would it be to let everyone put the
fields in the form that they want?

I know that in Access and others like it you can put the fields any where.

I am asking because I see mention of a plugin being written to move this field back for institutions that want it (I hesitatingly believe we are one such institution), and am wondering where that plugin will be looking, and whether putting the updated process_status into AT will simply make this easier in the future. Any comments
