[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk import of DOs with multiple file versions

[William Hamill]

Kia ora koutou,

I’m hoping someone out there may be able to offer some pointers on doing a bulk import of Digital Object records.

Using the aspace_digital_object_template.csv works fine as it is, but the records I would like to create typically have 2-3 file versions. I’ve tried copying the file version columns and adding “_1” and “_2” to various places, but the importer just skips those columns altogether and I get a record with no file versions at all.

Is this just a case of user error, or does the import template not work with multiple file versions? We’re running AS ver.3.3.1

Note that I’m just wanting to create the digital objects at this stage – not import associating with an archival object (also, that importer seems to just have linked out object and thumbnail settings that don’t suit).

Any tips would be great,

Thanks very much
