Mark, Aha. Now I understand. This is a reported issue with 1.6.2: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-678
I'd encourage you to add your additional comments to that issue, and/or 'vote' for that issue. Unfortunately this is a "known issue" at this time (and still exists in 1.7.0). We need to find a developer to work on this issue and provide a patch which resolves it. - Tim On 1/10/2011 11:21 AM, Mark Melia wrote: > Hi Tim, > > To give a little more details what I am trying to do: > A user who is a community admin is trying to add a bitstream to an item. > This item has up to now no bitstreams.
