Field for sex only allows single-word vocabulary, record errored #4097

Open creplog opened 3 weeks ago

creplog commented 3 weeks ago

Feature or enhancement

I have many slide records that contain multiple individuals of different sexes (example: one slide contains 3 individuals. Under the "sex" field, the record transcriber wrote "male, 2 females" - record errored when I tried to upload with the following error: "sex-only single-word controlled vocabulary supported at this time")
Is there a way to add more nuance to this field to encompass things like slide records that have multiple individuals of different sexes?

@creplog You can indeed. You create rows for each "enumeration" (total). Use the same CatalogNumber. There is an option in settings I think about "virtual containers" that needs to be checked too IIRC.
