Investigate | MARC Authority record | Implement sequence number generation mechanism for HRIDs

As a librarian
I need a HRID automatically generated for each MARC authority created via batch import

Overview

• Investigate if we should/can leverage the Inventory HRID generator (https://issues.folio.org/browse/MODINVSTOR-170) used for instance/item/holdings
• Note that it may not be applicable as authority records may not be available via the Inventory app AND will not have a comparable FOLIO record type
• If we cannot leverage the Inventory HRID generator then we need to ensure the generator
  • supports a consistent sequence
  • honors what the user enters in Starts with field via Settings > quickMARC > Authorities > HRID handling
  • honors what the user enters in prefix field via Settings > quickMARC > Authorities > HRID handling
  • honors the HRID character limit of 21 [10 character limit for prefix, followed by up to 11 digits]
• 1 HRID to 1 Authority record
• HRID does not change when user edits the Authority record

Given I have a setup HRID handling in Settings
When I enter in the Starts with field 12345
AND prefix is au
Then HRID generator should always generate HRID that starts with au12345

Given I have a setup HRID handling in Settings
When I enter in the Starts with field 12345
AND prefix is null
Then HRID generator should always generate HRID that starts with 12345

Given I have a setup HRID handling in Settings
When I enter in the Starts with field 000001
AND prefix is null
Then HRID generator should always generate HRID that starts with 000001
