<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">So, uh, we had some of the same issue. We generally identified that you need at least one barcode to realistically do it in our case. We have two scripts.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">1. This one is for resources where the Box numbers don't restart at 1 every series. It won't work if you have two separate box 1s. We know the script is a little messy, but we
haven't had the chance to test a refactor. It basically matches based on logic around our barcodes. You could change this to match around other logic as necessary. Like you might be able to split your indicators and match based off of those. We did barcodes
because we had faux codes after migration and it was the easiest way to identify the "real" container.

like the one in the screenshot below, where historical practice has found us encoding box and folder numbers in a single instance, with values separated by a slash. Until a merge feature is implemented, it looks like we may have to do this through the API,
and I'm wondering if anyone has tackled something similar and can possibly share a solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
