[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Auto-populate rights subrecord or text note fields?

[Susan Luftschein]

Hi Angela,

As far as I know there is no way to auto populate anything from within the application.  At the suggestion of Jennifer Bielewski, I've been using Auto Hotkey to populate some notes with boilerplate text.  It's pretty easy to use and works well.

Best,
Sue

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Auto-populate rights subrecord or text note fields?

I have looked through the manual, and I have seen how to set default values for controlled vocabularies. What I would like is to set a default value for a non-controlled free-text field. Specifically, I would like our boilerplate text to auto-populate the permissions and restrictions fields of the rights statement subrecord whenever we create a new accession or resource record. Similarly, I'd like to auto-populate the conditions governing access and conditions governing use note fields. I have not found a way to assign default text to any free-text field.

Is there a way to do this? Am I overlooking something? Could something like this be accomplished with a plugin or script?

If not, it's not a major issue. We'll keep copying and pasting the text from our local documentation. I just wanted to streamline our process if it was possible.

Thank you for any help.
