Updating the Accession humber

Interesting demo.  Not sure I understand the difference between choosing
Edit Example 1 and Edit Example 2.

One thing I did notice is when I edited the record I created (Lady
Cockburn) and modified the accession number, the original accession
number (2077) remains in the dropdown list of recently created object
entry records.  Does this list get refreshed overnight?  Also not clear
what "date - association" means.  I interpreted it as a date + date type
qualifier, but logically I would expect a field for some kind of index
date (i.e. the year without the qualifier) to go along with the display
date text below.

A list view of objects by accession, (that perhaps shows the first part
of all the fields) would be nice as a starting place for picking an
object record to edit.

Good start!
