If you switched to a new DB, but did not delete the solr indexes in 
data/solr_index/ or deleted the files in data/indexer_state/ and 
data/indexer_pui_state/ to trigger a reindex then the data in DB and SOLR will 
be out of sync. 

If this is the case, the PUI, which pulls data from SOLR rather than the DB 
will be incorrect. 
The staff interface pulls data from both sources, depending on the action, and 
so will sometimes show you something in the index that isn’t there when you 
attempt to edit it. 

The backend API calls usually pull from the DB for non search functions. 

Ask them to delete the files in archivesspace/indexer*state/*  and wait for 
reindex to complete.
