Unable to change Authority Record slug about atom HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @rferris !

Thanks so much for sharing this idea. While we would love to see a method for end users to easily update authority record slugs to AtoM's user interface, at this time, I'm not sure this is a solution we will implement. Changing the permalink of a resource in AtoM without the user explicitly choosing to do so could have unexpected consequences - for example, breaking every external link added to third-party websites.

Long term, our preferred solution would be to add support for a Rename module for authority records, similar to what we've added for descriptions, as described in our docs here:

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/user-manual/add-edit-content/archival-descriptions/#rename-the-title-or-slug-of-an-archival-description

If you are curious to see the code behind this, here are some of the main files used:

• https://github.com/artefactual/atom/blob/HEAD/apps/qubit/modules/informationobject/templates/renameSuccess.php
• https://github.com/artefactual/atom/blob/HEAD/apps/qubit/modules/informationobject/actions/renameAction.class.php
• https://github.com/artefactual/atom/blob/HEAD/js/rename.js

I'll leave this issue open for now, to make it easier for others to find your code snippet in case they would like to implement this locally.

Hi Dan,

Agreed - my quick fix here definitely isn't ideal. I'll see if I can get time to create a rename form and if I can I'll do a pull request on it. :)
