[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Question about Agent Records

[Custer, Mark]

Gwen,

Which version of ArchivesSpace are you on?

Here’s an example of an agent record in the PUI that uses both the Dates of Existence subrecord (for specific birth and death dates) aas the date field in the Names subrecord:  https://archives.yale.edu/agents/people/81438

Also, have you tried to just re-save the agent record and see if that clears things up?  Usually when you get the “We’re sorry, but something went wrong message”, the issues generally has to do with the index.

Mark

Hi Maura,

Thank you so much for responding to my question. Unfortunately, I do not know how to examine the logs for errors.

Hi,

Are you able to look at the logs and see what error is being returned there?

Best,
Maura

Hello,

I am new to ArchivesSpace and was hoping some of the more experienced users might be able to shed some light on a problem we are having with our Agent Records.  Many of our Agent Records with date expressions are not displaying properly in the Public Interface.  When you go to click on the individual record, it returns an error message (“We’re sorry, but something went wrong”). All these records appear to use the Dates of Existence Expression field rather than the normalized Begin and End fields. Agent Records without dates appear to be displaying correctly. Has anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks for your time,
Gwen Coddington
