James -
Have you looked into the "publish" checkbox?  I believe that only the agents 
set to 'publish' will appear in the PUI. (Sidebar: I'm curious about why you 
want to retain the duplicate heading, rather than merge? "Publish" would impact 
all occurrences of the agent, so if you needed to display the 'other' version 
in some cases, I think this won't work).

Efficiently applying the "publish" setting could be a larger question, of 
course.. As would making it user-friendly to your staff, as it is not always 
easy to tell which agents are published.

For what it's worth: exports do seem to include the unpublished agents, so if 
that is important to you, you'd need a different approach. You're focusing on 
DO here, but for example,  I notice that the EAD exports do include unpublished 
Agents, regardless of 'include unpublished' export option.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Suppression of Agent Headings Within 
Digital Objects

Is there a way to suppress Agent headings without suppressing entire Digital 
Objects? We have encountered some problems with duplication of Subject/Agent 
headings, and we thought this could be alleviated by suppressing select Agent 
headings (which we want to retain), but if there is a straightforward way of 
doing this without suppressing entire digital objects (which we don't want to 
suppress) the method is eluding us. Are we missing something obvious?  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.
