Hi Graham,

We ran into the same problem with JSPUI on DSpace 5.1. We tried to fill dc.type 
from two different value-pair-lists and ended up with the duplicate entries you 
described. We came to two possible solutions:


1)      Merge the lists into one and make the field repeatable / multi 
selection.

2)      Distribute the fields over multiple pages of the ingest form. At least 
with JSPUI this avoids the duplicates.

Both approaches are not fully satisfactory but I wasn't able to find a better 
solution on the fly.

Hope this helps

Betreff: Re: [Dspace-tech] two form fields with same schema element and 
qualifier

Hello again. I failed to mention that this was for XMLUI (Mirage 2 to be 
specific) on DS 5.1.

Cheers,

Graham

Subject: [Dspace-tech] two form fields with same schema element and qualifier

Hi there,

This question relates to DS5.1 on Ubuntu using PostgreSQL.

In our /dspace/config/input-forms.xml we have two drop-down fields for Faculty 
and Department, respectively.  We want both fields to have the same element 
("contributor") and qualifier ("affiliation"), which are part of a custom 
schema ("uws").

However, when we submit the item in the submission workflow, the fields are 
each inserted twice in the database.  i.e. rather than having one entry for the 
Faculty and one for Department, there are two entries each.

Here are the respective <fields> in input-forms.xml:

        <!-- New field: "Faculty" -->
        <field>
          <dc-schema>uws</dc-schema>
          <dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
          <dc-qualifier>affiliation</dc-qualifier>
          <repeatable>false</repeatable>
          <label>Faculty or affiliated and federated institution</label>
          <input-type 
value-pairs-name="FacultySubmissionForm_faculty">dropdown</input-type>
          <hint>Select your faculty or affiliated and federated institution 
from the drop down
            list.</hint>
          <required>You must choose from the list of Faculties and affiliated 
and federated
            institutions.</required>
        </field>

        <!-- New field: "Department" -->
        <field>
          <dc-schema>uws</dc-schema>
          <dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
          <dc-qualifier>affiliation</dc-qualifier>
          <repeatable>false</repeatable>
          <label>Department</label>
          <input-type 
value-pairs-name="FacultySubmissionForm_department">dropdown</input-type>
          <hint>Select your department from the drop down list.</hint>
          <required>You must choose from the list of departments.</required>
        </field>

Any suggestions on solutions, or pointers to where the duplicate entry is 
occurring in the source code?

Cheers,

Graham
