Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace-tech Digest, Vol 47, Issue 44
Dorothea, I'm positive that the value isn't there as I've looked at both the detailed view via xmlui as well as in the database table metadatavalue. It's actually dc.type that I am trying to auto stamp as I am using a collection per type and I'd like the type just stuck in there for new records. And to the other replier - yes, I am only using the xmlui interface to add new records. I'm quite puzzled by this. My hope was that I was doing a really bone headed thing and not understanding how this is supposed to work. Sadly, it looks like I am doing it correctly yet it doesn't appear to work here :( Thanks for checking it. - Damian -- Message: 2 Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:42:13 -0600 From: Dorothea Salo dorothea.s...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Collection level Item Template to try to add a default metadata value to new items in a collection To: Dspace Tech DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: 356cf3981003151042o2a8722d4j19780c9db8b1c...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I got nothin' here.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace-tech Digest, Vol 47, Issue 44
Hi, Damian~ Two thoughts... First, the out-of-the-box input-forms.xml includes a value-pairs set at the end of the form. Make sure that the value that you want is one of the stored-value. Second, and there might be a better way to trouble-shoot this, but I would try adding the dc.type element back in to your submission form (if it's not already there). If the default value was well-defined, the system should automatically select the value you want (i.e. if your metadata value on the collection level template is Thesis, then you should see Thesis selected on the actual webform). Hope that helps... ~Caryn Original Message Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace-tech Digest, Vol 47, Issue 44 From: Sobieralski, Damian Michael dsobi...@indiana.edu To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 3/15/2010 2:05 PM Dorothea, I'm positive that the value isn't there as I've looked at both the detailed view via xmlui as well as in the database table metadatavalue.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace-tech Digest, Vol 47, Issue 44
That is truly bizarre; dc.type is what I most commonly default, and it's always worked fine for me (though I've been bitten by case-sensitivity once or twice). The only thing I can think of is to check input-forms.xml to be sure dc.type is still in there for those collections? (Though it honestly shouldn't make a difference; I've defaulted metadata that I then removed from input-forms.xml.)
