Access to Memory (AtoM)

In our EAD export code (and used as a possible setting for finding aid generation), we have a "public" option - when used, this will exclude draft descriptions from an export, AND, if the physical storage information associated with published records is hidden from public users via the Visible elements module, the storage information will also be excluded. This was added because the disclosure of physical location infomation can be considered a security risk by some archives; users should have the choice as to whether or not this information is publicly available.

The CSV export task seems to have a similar option - from the help text for the task:

• --public: Do not export draft physical locations or child descriptions

However, physical storage information is not excluded from published records when exporting using the --public option, even if the location is hidden via Visible elements

To reproduce

• Create a fonds with child descriptions
• Add physical storage information to those children
• Make sure all the records with physical storage information (and their parent records) are published
• Hide phyiscal storage information via Admin > Visible elements
• From the CLI, run the csv export task, using the --public option

Error encountered
physicalObjectName, physicalObjectLocation, and physicalObjectType are all still expored

Expected result

• Task excludes physical storage information when using --public option, and physical storage is hidden via Visible elements

EITHER THIS (ideal), or at the very least, we should remove mention of physical storage from the task help, as it is misleading
