[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Need to add new value to Subject Term Type lookup table

[Bowers, Kate A.]

This needs to either be editable or include all of these controlled vocabularies (405 of them) with the ability to suppress display of them by repository managers:

subject_term_type enumeration is set as non-editable, which is why no create button appears in the view, and also, I believe, prevents changing it via the API as well:


./curl_as_osx http://localhost:4567/config/enumerations/names/subject_term_type | jq .
{
  "lock_version": 0,
  "name": "subject_term_type",
  "editable": false,
  "create_time": "2015-08-11T21:10:13Z",
  "system_mtime": "2015-08-11T21:10:13Z",
  "user_mtime": "2015-08-11T21:10:13Z",
  "jsonmodel_type": "enumeration",
  "relationships": [
    "term_type"
  ],
  "enumeration_values": [
   …





I don’t know where the logic behind what values are editable and what are not is documented.
I’m thinking you could change this in MySQL, but it would be wise to know why is it set non-editable first.

Dear Aspace List,

I've been asked to add two new terms in the following two lookup tables:

Subject Source:  lcmptm "Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music
Subject Term Type: medium_of_performacne "Medium of performance"

The Subject Source lookup table has a Create button, I click it, add "lcmptm", then go into /aspace/locales/enums/en.yml to add the corresponding "translation".

However, the Subject Term Type lookup table does NOT have a Create button.  I added the new value to the proper place in /aspace/locales/enums/en.yml anyway hoping it would show up in the Web GUI.  But no joy.

Question:  How can I add a new value to the Subject Term Type lookup table without a Create button?

Thanks,

Mark
