Controlled Value Lists

[Geoff Edwards]

Hi All,

I recently merged two duplicate values in the “Container Type” Controlled Value List. After the merge, the number of records listed for the merged container type does not reflect the actual total. Is this something that reindexing would resolve?

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi Geoff, 

In short: yes, reindexing will resolve this issue.

Having done a massive merge project in ASpace, I was assured that the work we performed occurred and was accurate within the system. 

However, the records count did not 

reflect the merges until we reindexed our instance. Once we reindexed, the records counts issue was resolved.

I hope this helps!

It might be worth noting that in our experience merging the values doesn’t necessarily mean merging the text in-export. Maybe this was fixed in later editions, but we had a bunch of box vs. Box. We merged box into Box, but when the export occurred all of the box values came out with the original capitalization issue even though the system showed it correctly. I had to go back post-hosting set-up to apply an API fix to the problem (while doing something else related).
