[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error when trying to add Event Type

[Olivia S Solis]

Hi all,

Just to update, we solved this by directly modifying the database (INSERT
INTO enumeration_value) if anyone in the future encounters this. It does
seem problematic, though, that in some cases adding events via the GUI and
API doesn't work.

Thanks!
Olivia
