Hi Scott,
This was the result of a bugfix request that was implemented and delivered as
part of the 2.8.0 release. Here’s the JIRA ticket requesting that
functionality be added to the core of ArchivesSpace:
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-172
It was not implemented as a configurable feature as the ticket described it as
a bug that should be remedied for all users. Namely, it was deemed a
mistake/oversight that only the first of multiple provided dates was being
added to the display string.
As far as locally changing things on your end by writing a custom plugin, that
would likely be a fairly major undertaking (that might not ultimately be
successful) as the change to the display string was made at the model level. I
wonder whether anyone else has considered doing that?
Best,
Lora Woodford

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Date concatenation
Hi folks, I posted this one to the Google Group, but nobody took the bait. I
hope it's ok for me to send to the listserv.
I wondered if anyone knew about configuring the concatenation of dates to
titles in the frontend and pui? We have noticed since moving to v2.8.1 that
items with more than one date item are getting multiple dates appended, and the
curators of these collections find it a bit unwieldy and are asking if we can
turn it off. In v2.6, they were only getting the first one appended- has there
been a change to the logic? I couldn't see anything in config which would help
with this, but I know that if it's in the code any such change will affect the
whole site, so those curators that like having one date appended may lose that
functionality.
Thanks
Scott
