[Archivesspace_Users_Group] undefined method `show_identifier_column?'

[Mark Cyzyk]

Dear Aspace List,

Here is a puzzler:

One of our custom plugins is throwing an error with ASpace 2.8.0:

The key line here is, I think:

> F, [2020-09-14T18:31:23.238827 #1711] FATAL -- :

No, I didn't mean "show_external_ids'!

The docs do indeed list 'show_identifier_column?' as a method. 
(/archivesspace/docs/doc/SearchHelper.html#show_identifier_column%3F-instance_method)

Does anyone have an idea about why ASpace 2.8.0 might be throwing this 
error when this method is called?

Much appreciated,

Mark
