Hi Nathanael,
We have a workaround to this issue as described below:
"In some cases you will not be able to locate the entry you want to link to in the drop down menu. AtoM only displays 20 options at a time and if you are searching for a particularly common term such as ‘letters’ it will not be able to show all the possible entries. There are two solutions to this,
If you can, try typing a more unusual word from the title of the entry you want to link to. If it is called ‘Letters concerning Germany’, try typing ‘Germany’ or ‘concerning Germany’ instead of ‘Letters’.
If no combination of words from the title is working, open the entry you want to link to and click ‘edit’ in the bottom toolbar. Then expand the ‘identity area’ and add an unusual word to the title. Save the changes and then return to your original entry and search for the unusual word in the ‘related descriptions’ field and select the entry you want. Save the changes (and remember to go back to the linked entry to remove the unusual word!). The edits will not affect the URL of the linked entry and the link between the two entries will remain in place after you have changed the title back."
I know this isn't ideal but it does at least allow staff here to make the links they need to.
A more robust and scalable solution would be great in the longer term!
Cheers,
Jen

Hi
We're finding that the 'related descriptions' field in the 'Allied materials area' is hard to use. Presumably you should be able to enter the identifier of a related description and it will then appear in the dropdown list, allowing you to create the link. However when we type in one of our identifiers (which are usually in the form "SPAB-BAS-045" or similar), often nothing appears in the dropdown. Typing part of the identifer or a word from the title brings up results but there are often a lot of them and only the first 20 are shown, so the one we want might not be visible. Is there any way around this?
Thanks
