[EP-tech] How to delete succeeds-field?
Hi Thomas and Yuri,
I have just tested this on what will become the next version of EPrints
(3.4.4) and I don't see any significant problems with an eprint where
its predecessor (value in its succeeds field) has been fully deleted
(not just retired), even though the succeeding eprint still has its
succeeds field set with a now missing eprint ID.? Please could you give
a bit more detail of the problems you are seeing when the succeeded
eprint has been deleted, so I can make sure this issue does not still
persist.? As part of 3.4.3, I made a change to the "EPrint Remove"
screen plugin, which would require an additional permission:
eprint/remove_once_archived
to be assigned to a user or user type to allow them to delete (not just
retire) an item that has at some point been in the live archive (i.e.
has its datestamp field set).
On the solution to your current issue, I would always advise either
using a script or temporarily modifying the eprint workflow so your user
(or admin users more generally) can edit the succeeds field and in this
case unset it.? Running database queries is obviously a lot quicker and
easier to do but you don't have any traceability, which when you have
had to deal with an unusual bug is often helpful if someone happens to
review this at later date.
Regards
David Newman
