4 years ago The list of templates offered under Create New is as expected (see below) but you're right, it's not opening the template that you do select from the Create New dropdown.
As expected: "Create New" shows you a list of any resource template of type Work. (Since the lookup is to Sinopia Works, Sinopia assumes you want to create a new Work. Sinopia has no idea what kind of Work.)
Bug: When you do select something from the dropdown, the selected template should open in a new tab, leaving the one you were working on alone.
We need to fix this bug.
As an enhancement, we could consider letting the template creator define what the button does. For example, in the "In Series" field, one would configure the template so that "Create New" did not give the cataloger a choice but instead opened a new "Serial Work" template. This could be really useful for Contributor too, to open a new template for a new Agent.
The Create New button which appears with the In series RT on PCC_BF2_Work_Monograph template does not function as intended. When I click on the button, I'm prompted to select a template from a drop-down list. In most cases, a Serial Work template would be the logical choice (either the LD4P Serial Work or PCC Serial Work). No matter what I select, Sinopia instead sends me to a blank Monograph Work template, and the monograph work I was working on is gone. There is an error message that flashes between the time of selecting from the menu and the blank Work template coming up, but it goes by too fast to read.
I am using Sinopia Stage in Firefox 82.0.3.
This is possibly related to issue #2712 .
