Dear LifeH2O As helix mentioned, this is not possible in DSpace.
To give you a hint on how you can implement it, you need to create a new type of input control for the submission form, which will make ajax requests upon completion to a new servlet that will be responsible to answer such requests with an XML or JSON, depending on the autocomplete control that you will be using. In this servlet you can search (and return) all metadata values of a specific field, or all epersons as you mentioned or whatever.

Then is it possible to select authors from all existing dc.contributor.author ? User can always enter incorrect name for dc.contributor.author, dc.contributor.advisor etc. We want name to be suggested from existing metadata elements. I have seen choice authority system but unable to make it work like my understanding. I'll ask it on dspace-devel if you still cannot help. -- View this message in context: http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Email-notification-to-existing-specified -users-only-tp4664880p4664986.html Sent from the DSpace - Tech mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
