[Archivesspace_Users_Group] spreadsheet imports in 2.8v SUI

Hi Christine,

Thank you for your reply. Yes! I was able to successfully import both
spreadsheets in the sandbox! No error messages. Is there a patch that we
can apply to our instance to make this work for us?

This does, however, lead me to another question. We are hoping to use the
File version URI field to enter an internal file path (not an actual link),
and I thought that if I used column BL on the import spreadsheet (column K
on the DO spreadsheet) that the file path would populate the URI
field--alas, it doesn't. But I don't see another field on the spreadsheet
where one can place the non-linking file path to have it populate the URI
field. Is there one that I'm just not interpreting properly?

Many thanks,
Wendy
