Feature to update namespaces in bulk for multiple CEs or COs #4031

Open AntWeb-org opened 1 month ago

AntWeb-org commented 1 month ago

Feature or enhancement

A number of CEs were initially uploaded using an incorrect version of a namespace. I would like to correct the namespace for multiple CE records. Right now there is no way to update namespaces in bulk for a group of CEs or COs. I would like a feature in either the CO Match or field synchronize tool that would allow for updating namespaces in bulk. For example, I need to update all CEs (or CO's using the CE) with the incorrect namespace "eventIDANTC" to the correct "ANTC". It would be quicker to update namespaces in bulk than to update each individual namespace for in a CE record.

Then I would look into filtering those CEs so I can delete the namespace from the identifier as well.

@AntWeb-org This should become available when the uniquify work is done. For now you can just rename the namespace to correct it, you'll have to use verbatim to duplicate a value that you want to use, as you can't have duplicate short-names.

Thanks! I look forward to testing the feature when available. The namespace is fine. It's a matter of the CEs being previously imported using the wrong one.
