Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Date concatenation
Thanks very much Lora. I will feed that back to our archivists- I think they will be happy enough now they know what it is.

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?

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.
