Records with a dc.contributor.author w/ dspace generated uid authority key not displayed in collection

[Evelthon Prodromou]

Hello,

system characteristics: DSpace 5.5, XMLUI

Situation:

Records with an author w/ dspace generated uid authority key are not displayed in collection. In an example collection, 10 records are listed, but actually 41 records exist.

If I do a metadata export, records with dc.contributor.author (that have a uid authority key with a value like Surname, Name::d141b689-acec-4c97-a726-d4b9c651a805::600) are not listed when viewing the collection.

I did an index-discovery -b and that did not fix it.

I am wondering if this is a configuration issue. Has anyone faced this before?

Thank you,

Evelthon

Continuing with symptoms,

1. some items in collection are not listed in collection list.
   
2. Items not listed are not included in collection and community strength count.
3. If I edit items with the Export metadata/csv,
   
   1. delete dc.contributor.author, and then
      
   2. add the author again,

the item will appear and strength count will be updated accordingly.

Thank you,

Evelthon
