EDIT

problems like this should be handled more in detail and the user should be informed about this problems. Therefore I create a new ticket and close this one (#8549).

Please review whether the problem of the missing information is fixed.

I attached the two sample file: one is the DNA unit the other one the associated tissue sample.

I tested on nightly rem_conf_am and searched for DB 40073 in the specimen import search. It imported the DnaSample and the TissueSample correctly but it did neither import the author (Hutchison) nor the collecting number (1980) which are both available in the tissue sample abcd.

the collector problem is solved, but the fieldnumber is not delivered. I debugged and also looked at the output and there is no fieldnumber (see the attached file).

I think we have to move this to 5.11

ok, this seems to be a bigger problem.

If you compare your debug output with the two files it seems like it has mixed the information together.

For example

                  <abcd21:AreaName language="en">North America</abcd21:AreaName>

comes from the DnaSample and

            <abcd21:RecordURI>http://herbarium.bgbm.org/object/BGT0023581</abcd21:RecordURI>

comes from the tissue sample.

Maybe the Abcd206XMLFieldGetter does not reset its state correctly when handling a new unit and instead just merges all the information it can get together.

I checked the two files again and the tissue sample has UnitID B GT 0023581 and the associated unit of the dnaSample is B GT 0023612, so they do not belong together.
and the field unit of B GT 0023612 has no fieldNumber:

the imported field unit for B GT 0023581 has collector and fieldNumber see attached file (picture607-1.png)

as the used example was about two different field units I close this ticket. Please make a last review for closing the ticket.

Why did you move it to 5.12. It has status resolved and should therefore be reviewed in 5.11 milestone. If there is a reason for moving please mention it.

Sorry, I overlooked the content of this ticket.

Tested the import again and the FieldUnit data is now correctly imported.
