Constraints on what can be edited

Except Availability status and Customer Code everything else can be updated through the Submit Collection API. However, when the item is out (Not available in ReCAP), the Collection Group Designation (CGD) and Use Restriction cannot be updated. There is a limit on the number of records that can be edited through the API in a single call. It is currently set at 100 and is configured in the external properties file under external.submit.collection.input.limit. Items that have been deaccessioned cannot be edited through Submit Collection.
