[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Configuring barcode digits?

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

The generate_accession_identifiers plugin is an example of how to load javascript conditionally for a particular controller and action. For your case, you probably want to catch the top_containers controller for new and edit actions.

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/plugins/generate_accession_identifiers/frontend/views/layout_head.html.erb

<% if controller.controller_name == 'accessions' && controller.action_name == 'new' %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag "#{@base_url}/assets/generate_accession_identifiers.js" %>
<% end %>

Inspecting the form html, the field you want to validate is: $( ‘input#top_container_barcode_’ ) 

You can google many examples of how to validate forms using jquery.
Here’s one example:

It looks like this was included in the original development of the container management functionality <https://guides.library.yale.edu/archivesspace/ASpaceContainerManagement>, but after poking around a bit in the system and available documentation I don't see any further information. If anyone has done this locally, could you be so kind as to tell me how you made this happen?
