Mapped Specify WB fields not uploading into collection

Thu, 04/21/2011 - 18:18 — FishSeal

I have created a WB entry form that mimics the Specify Collection Object.
Each field is "not hidden" and available on the WB. Only one is not mapped in the WB.
I have checked the fields and they are correctly mapped, but when I enter the data into WB they do not show up in the Collection Object after being uploaded.
Here are the 3 fields that I'm having trouble with:
1) Col Obj Attribute> number39 -- Doesn't upload any data into Specify from WB.
2) Col Obj Attribute> number40 -- Doesn't upload any data into Specify from WB.
3) Determinations> yesno1 -- Doesn't upload "true/yes" or "false/no" if left blank, "true/yes" when selected, "false/no" if selected and then un-selected.

Anyone have any ideas? or similar problems and figured out how to solve them?

Thanks,

Sean

Solved.

I quote from Tim Noble:
"The problem is that they are mis-mapped in the specify_workbench_upload_def.xml file.

You can fix it yourself by editing that file and modifying the actualname value for COA.Number37-42.

< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber37" actualname="Number37"/ >
< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber38" actualname="Number38"/ >
< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber39" actualname="Number39"/ >
< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber40" actualname="Number40"/ >
< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber41" actualname="Number41"/ >
< field table="CollectionObjectAttribute" name="colObjAttributeNumber42" actualname="Number42"/ >"

Thanks Tim. It worked and I love it!!
To anyone who copies this... please remove the space after "<" and before ">".
