Dear Stephanie
I may be being obtuse, but why do you need to create an additional loan record at all? Wouldn’t you treat the long-term loan in the Exhibition record as if
it were one of your own objects, i.e. included in the exhibition (displayed) but not subject to a loan agreement for the exhibition?
Thinking about this in terms of the underlying procedures, the inclusion of the long-term loan in the exhibition doesn’t have anything to do with loans – it’s
really just a change of location / display status. Obviously you’ll need to record its inclusion within the exhibition, but there is no loan involved
in its inclusion in the exhibition.
But I may be missing something obvious here.
Best wishes

Subject: Long Term loans in exhibitions
Hello,
I'm wondering how others handle long terms loans in exhibitions in TMS. We have a long-term loan with 40 objects. One of those is going into an exhibition. What is the best workflow? Do you make a new loan record for the temporary exhibition
with just 1 object to attach to the exhibition record or are you attaching the long term loan record to the exhibition record and just excluding the other objects from the venue?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!
Stephanie
