Hi,

 

Just wondering if anyone else can verify a problem I am having, (or doing wrong) on a 3.3.10 instance…

 

According to the documentation (https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Metadata), can_clone is a property that can be set in the field definitions, and is used quite liberally in the EPrints.pm : get_system_field_info sub

e.g.

{ name=>"datestamp", type=>"time", required=>0, import=>0,

              render_res=>"minute", render_style=>"short", can_clone=>0 },

 

       { name=>"lastmod", type=>"timestamp", required=>0, import=>0,

              render_res=>"minute", render_style=>"short", can_clone=>0, volatile=>1 },

 

       { name=>"status_changed", type=>"time", required=>0, import=>0,

              render_res=>"minute", render_style=>"short", can_clone=>0 },

 

 

 

to filter out data you don’t want to copy across when cloning…

 

foreach my $field ( $self->{dataset}->get_fields )

       {

              next if( $field->get_property( "can_clone" ) );

              delete $data->{$field->get_name};

       }

 

 

Taking this a step further, I have altered the local repository eprint_fields.pl field definitions, to include the can_clone => 0 into a few test fields, but the data still gets cloned into the new record.

e.g.

{name => 'test_field_1',         

 type => 'set',

 options => ['yes','no','pending'],

 can_clone => 0,

},

 

Can anyone confirm if it’s not working correctly, or point me to what I’m doing wrong ?

 

Cheers

 

Matt
