Browse by Subject option showing ddc and lcc data too.

[Sushant Virdi]

I'm using DSpace 7.6 and have encountered a minor issue. We're utilizing the Dublin Core fields: dc.subject, dc.subject.ddc, and dc.subject.lcc. When using the "Browse by Subject" option in DSpace, it displays the ddc and lcc fields data as well. We only want the dc.subject fields to appear. Is there a way to resolve this? Thank you!

Hi,

By default, the Browse by Subject page will include all "dc.subject.*" metadata fields.  This is configured in the "webui.browse.index.*" settings in the dspace.cfg here:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1168

If you'd like to ONLY include the "dc.subject" metadata field, then you should be able to do so by changing that setting to:

webui.browse.index.4 = subject:metadata:dc.subject:text

Then, you would need to perform a full reindex of the site, using "./dspace index-discovery -b".

For more information on these browse configuration settings, see the documentation at:
