[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Plugins add Multiple SubRecord types?

[Andrew Morrison]

That has been my experience. If there is another way, it'd be really 
useful if someone could write a reference implementation, because 
picking apart other people's plug-ins (or multiple interdependent 
plugins) for generic techniques like this isn't easy.


Andrew.
