Hi Nason, This sort of behavior isn't reproducible on our demo site (demo.dspace.org) or sandbox site (sandbox.dspace.org), so I think we'd need more information. All Communities & Collections should be assigned Handles automatically, and the Handle will be displayed on the Community/Collection homepage where it says "Permanent URI for this community/collection". You can see an example on our demo site: https://demo.dspace.org/collections/82e086f1-a26b-4d39-b7ca-78abc507f539
If this is *not* working for you, then my best guess is there must be an error occurring whenever you create a new Community/Collection which is somehow blocking the handle creation. I'd recommend trying to create a new Community or Collection while following our Troubleshooting Guide and trying to look for an error message. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove) Good luck, Tim On Friday, April 25, 2025 at 4:14:11 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Any help on this please? > > I am trying to use a custom form for new collections via > *<name-map collection-handle="123456789/7" submission-name="myForm" />* > and without the Handle, it is a challenge.
