Hi,
I very much appreciate the high-quality modules that are shared for Omeka-S.
I have a workflow that is going to require hundreds of batches of imports for items and media. The Bulk Import module may be useful for this. But there are a couple of things I am having trouble figuring out:
Is it possible to map a metadata property as a numeric data type using the spreadsheet options? I see that the documentation says " The header can have a language (with @language ), a datatype (with ^^datatype )" but I don;t find any examples n the Test/_Data directory.
Is it possible to change the data-type of a property to Numeric after the item is created by merely replacing the value and leaving the property name the same? I have a lot of items that need tohave a certain property switched to Numeric. How would you approach this?
I’m having trouble figuring out how to save a mapping from a spreadsheet. I can create a new reader and adjust the mapping and import, but when I go back to it, the mapping is back to the defaults.
The mapping form of the module is simpler than the csvimport one, because it relies on the headers. You can use dcterms:title @fr ^^numeric:integer to import number.
For the 3, the mapping cannot be saved currently, but if you use the good headers, it’s not needed. But it’s a possible improvement.
