Dear Colleagues, I am testing my local installation of DSpace 7.6, specifically the authority control of metadata values. I have ported some of my authority classes from version 6 to version 7.6. The authority control works during submission, as it looks up values from an external web service. However, for archived items, there seems to be no 'lookup' button for authority-controlled metadata just like in the previous versions of DSpace. Even the language and types which I enabled to be authority controlled have no way of editing which by the way in the previous versions, these metadata fields contains a dropdown in which the user could only select those included in the list.
Edit Item metadata from version 6x [image: 6x-edit-item.PNG] [image: 6x-item-type.PNG] Edit Item metadata from 7.6 (no lookup and authority values, just plain textarea) [image: 7.6-edit-item.PNG] I even enabled Sherpa so that the metadata for Publishers and Journal titles were authority controlled but still, no lookup button. The behavior is the same even if I used the included 'srsc' controlled vocabulary. Am I missing a configuration? Or is this feature for authority control for archived items not yet ported to version 7?
