<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My guess is that the data in question – there must be data in the BioHist note, so if I’m reading the question right, the concern is that the “Note written by “ string isn’t data found in the Archon data and
you’d rather it not be there at all – but if it is – you only want it to show up if the BibHistAuthor data isn’t null (which is sounds like is the case on occasion). Avoiding dangling “Note written by “ statements would be easy – all you’d need to do is just
add a secondary check on the if statement so that it checked to see if the length of biohistauthor was > than 0.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m not an archon expert – but I can make these types of changes and push submit a pull request (though I wouldn’t without having someone who actually uses archon be around to test and provide feedback). And
short-term, it would likely be Chris who would be the one that could merge the request. Longer-term, this was an area of discussion at a recent ArchivesSpace hackathon – as more tools and code is written – there likely does need to be a process in place for
the community to pick up the development of tools like these and ensure they remain updated as problems arise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
