Some data does not show up in Author (Title Page) list of filter choices

[ZacharyLesser]

The following objects appear in the data field "Title Page Author filter" (at Item level) but they do not appear in the drop-down list of filter choices for some reason.

A., R. C., E. Alabastro, Gulielmo Aleman, Mateo Anglo-Britanno, F. Armin, Robert B., H.

...

and many more.

The associated plays DO appear in results for Author (Title Page) = Any , and the data is there in the field.

Something is preventing these specific entries from being found in the part of Build that creates the filter choices.

Still not working: check out DEEP 1212 as an example.

At Item level: neither of the terms in Title Page: Author Filter is showing up in the drop-down filter for Author (Title Page). See the data in screen shot. Both of those terms should appear in the drop-down

[ZacharyLesser]

Looking at some other errors on this: see DEEP 5041, which gets hit by a filter on Author (Title Page) = Beling, Richard, but should not.

I think what is happening is that this filter is filtering on the wrong db field. It should filter on Title Page: Author Filter at the Item level, and it should generate the drop-down list from that field. (I think it is incorrectly working on Authors or Author Filter at the Edition level, which is for Author (Modern))

Now building title_page_author_filter.json from item.title_page_author_filter Changed item data from item.edition.authors.all() to item.title_page_author_filter

Has this build completed? I'm still not seeing the right list of filters, and some of the ones currently on there return no results even when they should.

DEEP 5042

A, W in author (Title page) returns no hits and B, R is not present in list of filter terms...

[apjanco]

Note: needed to trim whitespace "B., R.; Sidney, Philip; A., W.".split(';').map(s => s.trim());

[ZacharyLesser]

Why is B, R still not appearing in the drop down list of filter terms, but if I enter it into the drop down, it does appear and does function? Filter list needs to be rebuilt?

[ZacharyLesser]

Oh I see the problem now, the alphabetical list starts over again about halfway down. So they just need to be sorted properly and I think this is done
