<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Good morning, ArchivesSpace users.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I am a cataloger (*not* a developer) using the API to update ArchivesSpace. So far I’ve figured out how to add LCCNs to the authority_Id of Agent records and do
a couple more updates that, in retrospect, were pretty simple. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The next task I’d like to tackle, however, just seems like maybe it can’t be done. We’ve got a lot of notes with html tags in them and I would like to update those
to valid tags. I can get the JSON for the notes in any particular archival object, but I don’t know how to specify the route to the note to change it. The JSON looks like this:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I got this using the route ‘repositories/10/archival_objects/489763’, but I don’t know how to specify the note that I want in the JSON. For the agent authority_id
I used the route ‘‘/agents/people/<somenumber> and specified the field like this:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’m hoping this is an easy question for somebody with more experience with the API and (especially) with JSON than I. I’m a little afraid the answer is that it
can’t be done. Any advice will be appreciated! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
