[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Date formats in rights statements

[Collopy, Peter S.]

Dear colleagues,

I’m trying to use rights statement subrecords on archival objects for the first time. One thing is getting in my way: with rights type copyright, I’ve entered a start date of 1986 for a photograph that I know was taken that year, but for which I don’t have a specific month or day. When I save the archival object, I get a “Start Date - Not a valid date” error message. It appears the field needs a month and day as well. Has anyone else grappled with this problem and come up with any solutions? Does anyone know why this is, whether it’s intended behavior or a bug, etc.?

Thanks,

Peter
