[Yale ArchivesSpace] Extent calculator currently malfunctioning

[Clemens, Alison]

Dear colleagues,

Please be aware that the ArchivesSpace extent calculator is currently malfunctioning and has the potential to introduce issues into resource records in which it's used. If you use the extent calculator and then click save, it creates blank elements in every section of the finding aid that then need to be deleted.

YAMS is aware of the issue and is working to address it. In the meantime, we suggest running the extent calculator to get the value and then manually inputting the value into the extent field. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this.

Best wishes,
Alison, for YAMS
