Trevor, Sorry for the delay in getting back. I'm still trying to catch up on email since the Open Repositories conference earlier this month.
I've cleaned up the documentation a bit: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Metadata+Recommendations Setting "dc.date.issued" to "today" only really works when you are using SWORD or external tools to submit data. If you are mostly submitting from the web UI, your best bet is to likely re-enable the "Initial Questions" page (see above docs for the link). This lets submitters tell you if the item was published or not. If it was not published before, then the "dc.date.issued" will be auto-set to today's date. By default, in DSpace 4.0, the "Initial Questions" page is disabled. This means that the 'dc.date.issued' field is REQUIRED to be entered for every submission (i.e. it'll never be empty, and it will never be automatically set to today's date -- the submitter must manually choose the appropriate date) Hopefully this makes sense, and meets your use cases. If you need to configure DSpace in some other way, you may need to write a custom Submission step to do so. But, feel free to ask more questions if this isn't clear. - Tim On 6/4/2014 8:32 AM, Trevor Wilson wrote: > As per > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Metadata+Recommendations we > can set dc.date.issued=’today’ (the literal string today). > > We cannot find the configuration file that needs to be changed to > accomplish this. > > Can anyone point me in the right direction? > > Many thanks, > > Trevor Wilson > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book > "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their > applications.
