@David Krah

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2539

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2483

  1. Very confusing ticket but I think I figured out what they are talking about and reproduced a failed merge in the Subject Source controlled value list (latest version sandbox). Agree better error messaging would be useful.

  2. Tested, verified that I cannot get a <emph>tag to render properly when nested within a title tag. Nesting is possible using only the <emph> tags, but breaks when enclosing a title. Tested in 3.3.1 and newest version in sandbox

 

 

 

@Alexander Duryee

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2625

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2547

  1. Tested on sandbox and confirmed reported behavior. The steps followed in the ticket match how the endpoint is documented, so the endpoint as-is is nonfunctional.

  2. Tested and confirmed that this occurs. Running the search starts what looks like an infinite redirect loop. Recommend passing, since this crashes the browser.

  1. Recommend Pass

  2. Recommend Pass. Could replicate on numerous browsers (but not Firefox).

 

 

@Dalton Alves

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2628

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2505

  1. Confirmed, recommend passing. May not exactly be a bug, but I don’t think the current behavior is desirable.

  2. Confirmed. SUI shows “indirect,” but the importer requires “inverted” to get expected import. This is a enum key:value thing.

    CSV currently defaults with an example that uses “indirect”. The proposed fix will work. Just to confirm we want to use the keys, not the translations for CSV imports?

  1. Recommend pass.

  2. Recommend pass.

 

 

@Bonnie Gordon

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2633

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2575

  3. Community feedback ticket: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2348

  1. I agree that numeric sorting is confusing for identifiers. Pass.

  2. I agree that the current sort/display behavior is confusing and the proposed solution makes sense. Pass.

  3. Did not receive any feedback other than the one comment on the ticket.

  1. Recommend pass.

  2. Recommend pass.

  3. Recommend passing, should be considered more holistically with ANW-1490.

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2471

 

 

 

 

@Elizabeth Peters

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2560

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2611

  1. This ticket comes out of discussing https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-939 - The issue as stated there assumes that ordering of resources within a classification works similarly to general search or browse results; however, resources within a classification work more similarly to AOs within a resource – i.e. the order is intentional – so adding a sorting option in the PUI would require a reimagining of how classifications work. This new ticket describes an issue where the order of resources determined in the SUI is not reflected in the PUI.

  2. I agree this would be very useful functionality. An additional case would be with rolling restrictions (e.g. 50 years after creation). Needs more discussion about how restrictions work in general - I’m not sure how this will interact with how local access restrictions flag an entire container as restricted if even only one linked object is, for instance. For this use case, where would the restriction info be stored? Can you restrict a child instance or a whole container?

  1. Recommend pass.

  2. Awaiting for more info. Will send out for community feedback

 

 

@Brianna McLaughlin

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2624

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2591

  3. Community feedback ticket: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1245

  1. Confirmed bug. Seems pretty straightforward and ticket is well documented. Recommend passing.

  2. Requestor wants the sidebar for SUI classifications to be left-side configurable like collection organization is now. I think this is a good idea for the same reasons outlined in https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-769. However, it’s worth discussing if every sidebar should be configurable to be on the left, as well.

  3. Responses were very mixed about this ticket. The responses I got skewed positive towards adding extents to browse/search results. Many folks requested this be configurable if we pass it for development.

  1. Recommend passing.

  2. Recommend passing. Let’s extend the ticket to all side bars.

  3. Recommend pass. Good feedback, most in favor, but will make sure it’s configurable.

 

 

@Evalyn Stow

  1. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2636

  2. https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-2620

  1. Bug confirmed on Sandbox (v.4.1.0) using both a small browser window and phone. Recommend passing.

  2. Confirmed in v.4.1.0. Recommend passing.

  1. Recommend pass.

  2. Recommend passing. This is another key/enum issue. We can write another ticket to try to address the core issue (thanks @Elizabeth Peters !)
