Re: [Dspace-tech] Publication Date Metadata
Hi Sebastien and Trevor, Maybe I've misunderstood things. It might help to take a step back. What is the setup you are trying to achieve in the DSpace submission steps? In other words, what is your use case here? As you mentioned, it's very possible the Initial Question step doesn't meet your use case. If so, it might be good to clarify how you want the submission forms to act, e.g. Are you trying to set dc.date.issued to today's date at all times? What is the reason why you'd rather your submitters not be required to specify the dc.date.issued themselves (which is the default setting in DSpace 4.x)? It's harder for us to debug this issue without a better understanding of what it is you are trying to achieve. It sounds like I had wrongly assumed you just wanted the same setup as in DSpace 3 (which is why I recommended just re-enabling Initial Questions). - Tim On 6/27/2014 9:14 AM, Sebastien Ival wrote: Hi Tim, I have two points to make 1) I think as mentioned in https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1655, the initial question step is a bit unclear and is now handled as part of the submission process.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Publication Date Metadata
Hello,
We've encountered the error reported in Sebastien's point (2) below. It occurs
when a reviewer tries to preview a workflow task. If the
webui.itemdisplay.default config line includes a date field but no value was
entered in the submission form, ItemTag.java fails when trying to display the
date.
The error won't happen if you set the given date field to required in the
submission form because the submitter must enter a date to get it out of
his/her workspace. I can confirm that dc.date.issued is not required nor set
by default. We use dc.date.created.
Here's the workaround that I used (around line 540 of ItemTag.java in the 4.0
code):
else if (isDate)
{
DCDate dd = new DCDate(values[j].value);
// Parse the date
if
(!dd.toString().equals(null)) {
out.print(UIUtil.displayDate(dd, false, false,
(HttpServletRequest)pageContext.getRequest()));
}
}
Note sure if that's the best solution but it works for us. I hope this helps.
Anthony

Re: [Dspace-tech] Publication Date Metadata
Trevor, Sorry for the delay in getting back. I'm still trying to catch up on email since the Open Repositories conference earlier this month. I've cleaned up the documentation a bit: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Metadata+Recommendations Setting dc.date.issued to today only really works when you are using SWORD or external tools to submit data. If you are mostly submitting from the web UI, your best bet is to likely re-enable the Initial Questions page (see above docs for the link). This lets submitters tell you if the item was published or not. If it was not published before, then the dc.date.issued will be auto-set to today's date. By default, in DSpace 4.0, the Initial Questions page is disabled. This means that the 'dc.date.issued' field is REQUIRED to be entered for every submission (i.e. it'll never be empty, and it will never be automatically set to today's date -- the submitter must manually choose the appropriate date) Hopefully this makes sense, and meets your use cases. If you need to configure DSpace in some other way, you may need to write a custom Submission step to do so. But, feel free to ask more questions if this isn't clear. - Tim On 6/4/2014 8:32 AM, Trevor Wilson wrote: As per https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Metadata+Recommendations we can set dc.date.issued=’today’ (the literal string today).
