[Archivesspace_Users_Group] error when merging Controlled Vocabulary list values

Fri Nov 4 16:23:54 EDT 2016

Earlier today I attempted to merge the value Collection into the value Papers in the accession_resource_type controlled vocabulary list.  When I did this, I got the following error message and then was unable to edit or view any records of any type in the application.  My IT guy attempted to fix the problem by restarting the server but after he shut it down, it application would not restart.  He went into the correct backend file and put the Collection value back in the list.  Then he was able to restart the application and everything has been working fine.  Last week I deleted and merged multiple values in our controlled vocabulary lists without any issues.  Has anyone else encountered a problem like the one I had today?  I didn't see one in the listserv archives or JIRA.
