Hi Santiago,

Please do not set the value of `dspace.entity.type` to the same value as 
`dc.type`.  The `dspace.entity.type` metadata field is used to determine 
the type of Configurable Entity, see docs at 
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Configurable+Entities

That field is an internal, DSpace-managed field (as are all fields in the 
"dspace" metadata schema).  If you set that "dspace.entity.type" field to 
an unexpected value, there may be a chance you could cause odd behaviors in 
your DSpace site.

To answer your question as well. There is currently not a way to copy one 
field value into another automatically.  That's not possible at this time 
without custom code.

Tim
