what's wrong with Bagger profiles? #191

Open dchud opened 11 years ago

dchud commented 11 years ago

was unable to generate a new profile successfully, is this debugged or documented?

dchud commented 11 years ago

alas, those who might otherwise help to determine answers might possibly be not-employed at the moment due congressional idiocy.

@dchud Can this be closed?

Last I heard this is still a bug. Might be good to check with @connizzo to see whether it's a concern for our operations.

We were thinking of using a custom profile for Bagger; the purpose was to provide a guiding and standardizing hand for bag-creation metadata. If Inventory expects bag metadata that's not part of the standard profile, it's an annoying amount of additional work to have to add those metadata fields manually every time we create a bag, especially considering that many of those additional fields might be standardized. But this is an issue with Bagger specifically, I think, not the spec.
