All,

I have a question:

Looks like an ASpace agent record can have two Subordinate Names. From /locales/en.yml:

     name_corporate_entity: &agent_corporate_entity_attributes
        <<: *agent_name_attributes
        subordinate_name_1: Subordinate Name 1
        subordinate_name_1_tooltip: |
            <p>A hierarchical unit with the corporate entity named in
   the Primary Name field.</p>
            <p>Examples</p>
            <ul>
            <li>Microelectronics Division <em>(for International
   Business Machines. Microelectronics Division)</em></li>
            </ul>
        subordinate_name_2: Subordinate Name 2
        subordinate_name_2_tooltip: |
            <p>A hierarchical unit with the corporate entity named in
   the Primary Name field and lower than the unit named in the
   Subordinate Name 1 field.</p>


My question is:  Is it possible to add two more Subordinate Names? subordinate_name_3, subordinate_name_4?

Or would I have to use a User Defined attribute for this?:

     user_defined: &user_defined_attributes
        boolean_1: Boolean 1
        boolean_2: Boolean 2
        boolean_3: Boolean 3
        integer_1: Integer 1
        integer_2: Integer 2
        integer_3: Integer 3
        real_1: Real 1
        real_2: Real 2
        real_3: Real 3
        string_1: String 1
        string_2: String 2
        string_3: String 3
        string_4: String 4
        text_1: Text 1
        text_2: Text 2
        text_3: Text 3
        text_4: Text 4
        text_5: Text 5
        date_1: Date 1
        date_1_inline_help: e.g. YYYY-MM-DD
        date_2: Date 2
        date_2_inline_help: e.g. YYYY-MM-DD
        date_3: Date 3
        date_3_inline_help: e.g. YYYY-MM-DD
        enum_1: Controlled Value 1
        enum_2: Controlled Value 2
        enum_3: Controlled Value 3
        enum_4: Controlled Value 4
        _singular: User Defined
        _plural: User Defined

(I'm sensing it's the second option here, that locales just applies labels, does not actually create fields in the database.  So I'd give text_1 here a label of 'Subordinate Name 3" and text_2 a label of "Subordinate Name 4".  But is this right?)

Thanks,

Mark
