monica Yes it is in the same group, I tried both mapped and constant to public. Debug isn't showing an error or warning
Are nonpreferred_labels always meant by default to be not public?
If in app.conf you set ca_entities_nonpreferred_label_show_access = 0, and then through the form you add a nonpreferred_label, it still defaults to non-public, as it doesn't show in Pawtucket. If I set the ca_entities_nonpreferred_label_show_access = 1 and change the access to public, then the nonpreferred_label shows in Pawtucket.
This obviously isn't the case with preferred labels.
Unless I figure out a way to set nonpreferred_labels public via import, it seems that the only way to set them to public is one by one via the form, which can't be right. Batch editing via sets doesn't seem to work either as you can't batch edit all the elements of the preferred_labels bundle
