Hi Brian,
I would have said that was the first thing I tried (since it's so obvious), but
obviously I didn't, because it worked immediately. Sheesh! What a lot of wasted
time trying to figure this out when it was right in front of me!
Regards,
Alan

JSONModel(:resource) uri (you provided a Hash)"
Hi Alan,
You ought to be able to add the resource reference to your archival object hash
as another hash, like:
resource => {ref => "/repositories/3/resources/391”}
If that’s not working, I’d be happy to take a look at your code if you want to
send it to me directly.
