[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk updater plug-in community survey

[Cory Nimer]

The ArchivesSpace Usability Sub-team is seeking community input about 
potentially integrating the bulk updater plug-in developed by Hudson Molonglo 
on behalf of The New School into the main application (see 
https://github.com/hudmol/as_spreadsheet_bulk_updater/blob/main/README.md). 
This includes assessing interest in this functionality and gathering feedback 
about previous institutional use of the existing plug-in. Your participation in 
the survey is optional, and completing the survey should take approximately 
5-10 minutes.

The survey is available at 
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnYGiQKlCHiQ6RtOH9D3Rk0cH89hta03Lp3q6ZUOO1Er6GWQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

The link will be available for responses until June 23, 2023.

We appreciate the work that has been done by the plug-in developers and look 
forward to learning more about the community's experience and interest in this 
functionality.

Sincerely,

Cory Nimer
Usability Sub-team Lead

Hi James,

Thanks for looking into this for me. I didn't realise we weren't using the
latest version, it sounds like that will sort out our problem!

thanks again,

Mariam

Hi again Mariam,

It turns out this bug was fixed in version 1.4.1 of the plugin.

We recommend using the latest version - currently 1.5.1:
https://github.com/hudmol/as_spreadsheet_bulk_updater/releases/tag/v1.5.1 


Please get in touch if upgrading doesn’t fix it for you.


Cheers,
James
