Pull location data from ArchivesSpace into new Aeon requests made via the ArchivesSpace Aeon Fulfillment Plugin
The University of Southern California Libraries would like the ArchivesSpace Aeon Fulfillment Plugin to pull container location information from ArchivesSpace into new requests made via the plugin. The location "title" from ArchivesSpace (e.g., "Grand, 2, Bookstacks [Row: 103, Section: 1, Shelf: 1]") could export into the Aeon request's Location or SubLocation field. Ideally, if a user submits a request for an Archival Object that is linked to multiple containers, the fulfillment plugin would create a separate Aeon request for each container (with each container's corresponding location title from ArchivesSpace).
Top container location mapping has been included in the updated ArchivesSpace Request Fulfillment plugin released with Aeon 5.2. It is now possible to map the following fields to Aeon via the OpenURL mapping table:
- instance_top_container_location_note
- instance_top_container_location_title
- instance_top_container_location_id
- instance_top_container_location_building

The University of Baltimore would like this same functionality.
