[Archivesspace_Users_Group] RDE Remove Templates

[Christine Di Bella]

I just checked this in the public sandbox, which is on 1.4.2, and test.archivesspace.org, which is on the 1.5.0 release candidate, and was able to replicate this partially. I was able to remove one or more templates at a time by selecting Remove (the text on the button next to it changed to Keep) and then Confirm Removal. But if I selected Remove, then changed my mind and hit Keep on any of them, and then hit Confirm Removal instead of Cancel, it removed the ones that were at one point selected for removal anyway. (If I hit Cancel it wasn't deleted.) This definitely seems like unintended behavior and I'll add that info. to the bug report you just submitted, Ed. If that's what's happening, I could definitely see when working with a longer list like Lydia was likely doing (or when just trying to figure out how the buttons work), there would be a strong possibility for templates to get deleted that were meant to be kept. 

I agree that it's a little unintuitive, but the way you describe it in your first message is the intended sequence of steps. By the way, there is information on templates in general and RDE templates specifically in the user manual at https://docs.archivesspace.org/Default.htm#BasicsTemplates.htm, but I see the Remove Templates function needs to be explained more fully.

Actually, never mind. You're right as it deletes them if you don't do anything. Looks like a bug.

The Remove Template window displays the templates with the Word Remove to the right. At the bottom it says Confirm Removal. At this point, none of them are actually selected. When you select Remove for a template, it changes text to the right to Keep. At that point the template is actually selected for Removal. It is a bit unintuitive.

Hello everyone,
I could be losing my mind, but I was trying to weed our Rapid Data Entry (RDE) templates and it seems to me that the commands/labels are switched.  When I click “remove templates,” it brings up a list of our templates with all of them marked “remove” and buttons at the bottom to “confirm removal” or “cancel.”  I clicked on the ones I wanted, which changed to “keep,” but I swear that when I clicked “confirm removal,” it deleted those.  Has anyone else had this problem?
Lydia
