Change a collection from Embedded Collecting Event to Shared

  1. Change the collecting event line in the collection object table copying the Fish form

  2. Replace the Collecting Event line in the collection object table with the following lines:

<row>
<cell type="label" labelfor="7"/>
<cell type="field" id="7" name="collectingEvent" uitype="querycbx" initialize="name=CollectingEvent;clonebtn=true" colspan="9"/>
</row>
  1. Change the MySQL collection table using the following script:
update collection set isembeddedcollectingevent = false

If there is more than one collection present and you do not want to change all of the collections, use this script:

update collection set isembeddedcollectingevent = false where
usergroupscopeid = X;

Replace x with the usergroupscopeid for the collection to be changed.

Why would someone want to do this for their collection?
Can more information be provided as to the use-case and what it means if isembeddedcollectingevent is true and what it means if it is false?

Thank you
