Hi Frances, Yes that is an issue I encounter when creating intellectual child records. My understanding is that this issue has been remedied in TMS2014. This does not help your current situation. Our parent records were already fully accessioned object when I started creating the ICRs. I worked around initially by creating a rule that we did not create intellectual child records until the parent’s status was established. Make sure the check the object count as well, that will be copied over from the parent record and you cannot change it. Sorry that is not super helpful.

We just noticed what might be a bug. At Mia, we create TMS object records for all potential acquisitions as Object Status = "Acquisition Candidate" and assigned a specially formatted Loan Object Number (e.g. L2015.16.1). Our registrar just created a Physical Parent / Intellectual Child record set using this approach. The item(s) in question were then acquired, their Object Numbers edited to normal Object Numbers and the Object Status in the Physical Parent changed to 'Accessioned'. Our problem: The Intellectual Children did not inherit the new Object Status and could not be edited (on the front end) to each have a new Object Status, so the Physical Parent was 'Accessioned' while the Intellectual Children remained 'Acquisition Candidates'. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
