During November 2024, Donald Smith focused on improving the event creation workflow in the archivesspace/archivesspace repository. He addressed a navigation issue where the +1 button, intended to start a new event, instead redirected users to an edit page, causing confusion. By refining the backend logic and updating the frontend flow using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and HTML, Donald ensured that the button now opens a fresh event form when no redirect is specified. This change clarified the user experience from the main menu and improved maintainability by documenting the expected behavior, demonstrating careful attention to workflow consistency and code clarity.
