Caitlin, I was just writing back to say exactly what Brian just mentioned! Attached is a copy of the CSV file that I was able to import.

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problems with Accessions CSV upload
Thank you, Brian, for the agent tips! I'll fill out those fields and see if it loads now! (And I've been fighting with Excel for literally hours over the date formatting, so glad to know that might be an issue as well.)

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Problems with Accessions CSV upload
Caitlin, It looks like that error means that the conversion process is trying to replace some text (using “sub”), but there’s no text there at the point that it’s trying to do the replacement (hence the “nil” part). Hard to say exactly what would be causing that without seeing the CSV file, though. Looking at the code, it seems likely that it could be caused by a date or an agent link, perhaps. The dates are transformed a bit during the process, so I’d review those first (the accession dates, and any event-related dates) If it’s completely unclear what could be causing the issue when reviewing the file, one strategy is just to delete half of the rows, and then try the import again.
