Implement Catalog Numbering Configurations Based on COT #5232

Description:
We need to develop a system that allows for multiple catalog number formats based on either the collection or COT. This includes options for auto-numbering based on type and shared formats across multiple COTs.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Users can set a single catalog number format for all COs within a collection (CatalogFormatNumName in the collection table, this is already supported)
  • Users can define multiple formats for COs within a specific COT (done in the XML app resource UIFieldFormatters)
  • Implement auto-numbering based on the selected type for each COT.
  • Allow multiple COTs to share the same catalog number format (they can use the same CatalogFormatNumName across multiple COTs, and auto-numbering should be shared)
  • Update the CollectionObjectType table to include a CatalogFormatNumName.

Default numbering behavior:
We need to also establish a default logic for assigning catalog numbers. If a COT does not have a specific series set, it should default to the collection’s catalog number format.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • If no COT-specific format is set, the system defaults to the collection’s format.
  • Ensure that the default settings are clearly documented and accessible to users.
