Selecting Thesaurus terms via the Metadata Screen while in Edit+


(Bcigognini) #1

Running Version v5.1.4.0

 

This is just a general question in relation to selecting Thesaurus Terms via the Metadata Screen while in Edit+.

 

Not sure if this is a matrix bug, a short coming of the Edit+ tool or the way my XML file is structured.

 

The problem I have, is that Edit+ authors are unable to select research terms lower than the 1st level Thesaurus Terms in the Hierarchy of the Thesaurus asset ( see edit-view attachment)

 

However admin administrators can select multiple Thesaurus Terms below the 1st level below the Thesaurus asset.( see admin-view attachment).

 

Is there a solution to this issue short of creating 6 individual metadata schemas each pointing to their own Thesaurus asset where the terms are all listed at the 1st level?

With the recent upgrade to V5.3.1.0 was this bug meant to have been resolved?


(Joel Porgand) #5

it's marked as fixed in the release notes for 5.3.0.0 - https://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/releases/5.3.0.0


(Bcigognini) #6

Its sort of fixed....I think.

 

Where now Edit+ users can see all Thesaurus Terms , it appears to be a flat listing of all parent and children Thesaurus Terms with no organizational structure as in the Admin view . ( see comparable views between Admin & Edit+).

Yeah its a flat list in Edit+.

 

We did however discover another bug with the thesaurus that has been fixed in the next patch release after your current version.

If you contact support they can sort you out with the patch upgrade.

Hi guys!

Sorry I know this is a very old post. We are running an older version of matrix 4.18.0 and running 1.5.0 edit+ . On the metadata screen we can select thesaurus terms and save - however they are not being applied to the asset.


If I apply the theasuari term in admin it’s all good.


Can someone le me know if there are certain. Fields that are problematic ?


Is this a similar issue?
