</span>for everything in Box 1 and that worked for the previous version of ASpace. Now it seems that the id number needs to be unique because I am getting this error:<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;background:white;mso-highlight:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">instances/0/sub_container/type_2 : container 2 requires both a type and indicator<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I manually create a unique id, it imports just fine. We don’t currently create unique ids for our boxes. Is there a way around this? How are other people creating unique ids for their containers?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t see any questions on the list related to this so perhaps there is something simple I am overlooking.<o:p></o:p></p>
