I think this is a bug in the import code as the same problem was discovered by
CottageLabs when they were doing some work on metadata quality for us.
I will look up the details and post to the list.

Hi George,

I want to perform a batch edit on a whole bunch of records, but when I do so
using the /bin/dspace metadata-import -f test_update.csv command I get all the

Is there a way to overwrite and not create?
It should overwrite rather than create by default. I suspect something isn't
quite right with the headers in your CSV file. My first thought would be the
language part of the headers -- DSpace takes that into account when checking
whether the field exists or not. That is, dc.type[en] is different from
dc.type[en_AU] etc.
How did you create the CSV file -- via metadata export? Try comparing the first
few lines of the original CSV file with the first few lines in your edited
version, using a standard text editor. The program you used to make your
changes may have done something to the CSV that DSpace doesn't like (especially
if you used Excel).
If you can't spot anything obvious yourself, maybe you could create a "minimal
example" with just one or two items and one or two metatada fields -- something
you could then send to this list so we can have a look.
cheers,
Andrea
