5 years ago I couldn't replicate this at first as it was working perfectly with Caroline's file. I then realised, doh, it was from an export and once exported it's in the default spreadsheet format. And I need to check it via the mapper. So I've located the original spreadsheet from s3 and I'm using the same mappings that the user used. I've been able to find the issue, it was the issue: https://github.com/nationalarchives/manage-your-collections/issues/1 although I did a fix for this, I hadn't realised it was working for the default spreadsheets but not yet for mapped files. Although they use the same code, they are slightly different, so I need to look at that bit of code again. What I need to do is fix and test it. I'll also need to go back in the uploads to try to identify uploads that might be affected.
From Caroline Catchpole: Unilever Archives have uploaded a collection and no dates are displaying on Discovery - this is the collection - http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/413c7ef3-aaf1-45b0-9dce-9f54256d801c.
I’ve downloaded the collection from MYC – see attached. You’ll notice covering dates are filled out for the majority of the records but not all, which I think shows 2 issues(?)
that the system validated the collection without dates for all records
that the covering dates aren’t displaying on Discovery for the records that do have that field populated
