<div dir="ltr">I'd like to get some advice about how best to
duplicate an existing resource record. I have a public resource record
which will need a lot of editing of container information and it will
take me some time to do so. I'd like to leave the current resource
record in place to be available to researchers, and have another copy to
edit that I would later publish, while deleting or suppressing the
original. Does this seem doable and if so, how best do I accomplish
this?<div><br></div><div>- There doesn't seem to be any sort of
spawn action associated with resource records, so cloning the record
within ASpace doesn't seem to be an option<br></div><div>- I thought I
might export the resource record as EAD, then slightly change and import
as a second copy of the resource record [but I'm getting error messages
when trying to re-import*]<br></div><div>- I wonder if there's a way to export the data to populate a copy of the bulk import template</div><div>- other ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>*the
errors seem to be associated with the required fields for Language
(lang_materials) and Script (finding_aid_script), which were not
required when this resource was created. I've now added values for those
before exporting as EAD, but the subsequent re-import says they are
missing.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>John<br></div><div><br></div>
