<div class="">We’ve used this config feature for so long (since v1.4.*) that I had forgotten it was necessary to turn it on to see external_ids. </div>

<div class="">My advice, in earlier threads, to use the EAD mapping between multiple unitids and external_ids for some issues must have seemed somewhat confusing if anyone tried it without also having that feature enabled. </div>

<div class="">will allow you to view and edit existing external ids in staff interface, but it doesn’t allow you to create them.</div>
<div class="">Ours are added either from EAD import or via backend API. </div>

<div class="">I had once forked changes in an older version to allow creating them from the staff webapp.</div>
<div class="">If I’m remembering correctly, the required changes touched too many modules and were not localized, so it didn’t seem practical to maintain them in a plugin.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If there is interest in adding this feature to the core code, I could review that branch and see if it could be merged into current code base. That code still followed that config setting, so edit option was not visible unless set to true. </div>
