Hi Magnus! Is it possible, when using the function "Import or update catalog", to update not only the existing descriptions but also the "type" of the entries? E.g. I was trying to set all the entries of https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/catalog/4650 as Q5, so I uploaded a file containing a column "type" with all Q5 but is was not effective. Thanks!

One little precisation: I uploaded the first part of 4650 with "default type: Q5", then I updated the catalog updating the second part of it; I thought that the initial "default type" would be valid also for further updates of the catalog, but it wasn't, so now the catalog contains some Q5 entries and some unknown-type entries, but in fact they should be all Q5 entries.

Another problem with the same catalog (4650): the parameters "born" and "died" were not read as auxiliary data. Should I re-upload the catalog or could you take auxiliary data from descriptions? I would need them for a collaboration with the Slovak National Library which will start in the next weeks. Thanks!

The problems are nearly solved: all dates have been very well extracted and only 287 entries haven't been marked yet as humans; after their fix, this thread can be surely closed.
