Hi Brett,

Bria Parker wrote about bypassing the accessions csv importer and going 
directly to the API -- this may be a useful tool for your toolbox:

I believe you would have to change the code in the importer itself, in addition 
to adding a field into the csv you’re using:

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Accession CSV - Field Not Importing

Good Afternoon Folks,

We are in the process of doing a test - moving our legacy Accession Register 
(Access database) data into an AS Version 1.5.3 sandbox. We’re using the 
Accession CSV template and really liking the initial results.

However, I’m having trouble getting data from one of the import fields to 
import. Under Extents in the AS Accession CSV mapping document (below-right), 
there is a field titled Physical Details (extent_physical_details) that I would 
like to import data into, however I cannot seem to do it.

[cid:[email protected]]

This field does appear under Extents in our AS 1.5.3 sandbox…

[cid:[email protected]]

but it does NOT appear in the accession import 
template<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_archivesspace_archivesspace_blob_master_backend_app_exporters_examples_accession_aspace-5Faccession-5Fimport-5Ftemplate.csv&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=9YHbmM1eiWqCm2OJLhIYS5umyjEpQ6y7xeLuai3x1cs&m=1h1Jo8iDjDyHvDr7BlEeqAzUSPzM6ZOdhHVu8S7VtDM&s=6qmB3yUoALJpWxXnDSot5lf9ysYn2ERqc3K50pJKXHA&e=>
 on the github site.

I’ve tried including this field in the accession CSVs I’ve created for import, 
placing the field where I think it should logically go in amongst the other 
Extent fields, but to no avail.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? I’d like to avoid placing this data into 
a user defined field if at all possible. Any help or advice would be greatly 
appreciated. Thanks in advance!
