<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>Lone arranger here, sole manager and user of my library's ASpace instance. I am trying to import digital objects using a .csv spreadsheet. I've looked at the mapping docs and templates, and everything seems to be in-line. However, when I run the import, I keep getting the message:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,238,51);font-family:monospace;font-size:13px;white-space:pre;background-color:rgb(51,51,51)">The following errors were found:
dates/0/begin : not a valid date
dates/0/end : not a valid date</span><br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>ForĀ <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap">date_1_begin and </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;white-space:pre-wrap">date_1_end I am using years only (1910, for instance) in both fields. I have some undated objects, so I've tried importing three different ways: with the word "undated" in the fields; with "0" in the fields; and with nothing in the field (blank). None of these worked. This isn't some complicated metadata I'm working with, so I think it should be straightforward to fix. But I'm not finding anything that explains exactly how dates should be formatted (if that is indeed the problem). Please enlighten me!</span></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance.</div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><b>Joanna Black<br>Archivist<br>William E.
