Change a form value

Files:

• dspace/config/input-forms.xml

Instructions:

1. Look for the

   <form-value-pairs>

   element in input-forms.xml.
2. Look for the

   <value-pairs>

   element for the Dublin Core element whose values you wish to change.
3. Add or change a

   <pair>

   element, where the

   <displayed-value>

   element contains what the submitter sees in the dropdown box, and the

   <stored-value>

   element contains what DSpace should archive as the information's label:

   <pair>

       <displayed-value>Gov't Doc #</displayed-value>

       <stored-value>govdoc</stored-value>

   </pair>

4. Stop and restart Tomcat (See Quick Restart in Rebuild+DSpace).

Notes:

• This set of instructions changes the existing choices when DSpace displays an option-box or dropdown menu, as for the Dublin Core "type" and "language" elements. It does not add a new submission widget/field to the user interface; to do this, see Alter+submission+input+forms.
