Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD importer changing punctuation in unitids<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> There may be an obvious reason for this, but I don’t know what it is. When creating Archival Objects, the EAD importer converts periods in <unitid> values to underscores in the corresponding archival_object.component_id. E.g., “4.”
Loads as “4_” I don’t see this noted in the EAD-Import-Export-Mapping-20130831 document.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our developer tells me it’s happening here: <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/app/converters/ead_converter.rb#L137">

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know why this is being done? Can we safely disable it without causing problems?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
