Unsupported / not working 'Item Types' #2

Closed D-Strange closed 3 years ago

D-Strange commented 3 years ago

From a limited bit of testing I found that it is only possible to choose one of the first 4 'Item Types' (1,2,3 & 5) when using the uploader based on mapping logic below.

I've specifically been trying to upload items using the uploader which I'd classify under Online resource, but I receive the following error code - "Error: unknown value in defined type converter"

Current workaround would be to use the upload using a working 'item type' and then batch-edit records on the Figshare interface to adjust to desired item type, which is a very quick and easy solution.

Any fix that could be implemented for this would be great!

Cheers, Damon.

Hi @D-Strange, I wasn't aware that Github automatically closes the issue when you reference it in a PR.

I've just pushed new Mac and Windows builds for 2.3 that should have this support. Let me know if it works for you.

I'm a bit wary that the platform I use to make the Mac builds might be rather long in the tooth now, so do let me know if you have any issues with it.

Hi @amoe

Just gave the new build a whirl on Mac, and I can confirm I was able to successfully upload / create an item via the Uploader using 'Online resource' as the item type.

Many thanks for implementing this update so swiftly - will be very helpful.
