I'm noticing that when defining a dynamic term list, one can put in a list of terms in the XML (in <option> tags). When starting up CSpace, though, those terms are not automatically added to the database. Is there a step that I am missing?

Yes, that's correct: there's just one more step to make your term list 'live': https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Initializing+data On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 7:40 AM, Peter Murray <pmurray@chillco.com> wrote: > I'm noticing that when defining a dynamic term list, one can put in a list > of terms in the XML (in <option> tags).

Oh, right! I forgot about that step when I started working from a blank database. Is there any harm in repeatedly initializing the authorities? (Will it overwrite term lists that are already there? If so, is there a way to initialize just one term list when I add it?)

Peter, You should be able to repeatedly initializing the authorities without problems. As far as I know, there is no easy way to initialize just one term list, but you can always create a script that uses the RESTFul API to add a new term list. If you do, please consider contributing it!

Ah, very good. Yes, it does only add entries if they weren't already there. The first time it took a a little over one minute to run on my vagrant box. The second time took only 12 seconds. I've added it to my "rebuild everything" Ansible playbook (https://gist.github.com/dltj/81dca4e22f4f747cc639#file-playbook_cspace_redeploy_tenant_config-yml-L70-L76 <https://gist.github.com/dltj/81dca4e22f4f747cc639#file-playbook_cspace_redeploy_tenant_config-yml-L70-L76>).
