Description
Describe the bug
Catalog Number Inheritance works correctly on the server when a COG has a primary Collection Object and the inheritance preference is enabled. The API returns the inherited value, but the UI never displays that value as the grayed-out placeholder in the Catalog Number field.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- go to your App Resources -> CollectionPreferences and add this:
"catalogNumberInheritance": {
"behavior": {
"inheritance": true
}
}
- Create or open a Collection Object Group (COG) with COG type as "Consolidated".
- Add a child collection object (CO) within the COG and mark it as primary.
- Create a new child CO within the same COG clear the catalog number field and save.
- See no inherited value is getting showed for that child CO.

Expected behavior
When inheritance is enabled and the primary CO has a catalog number, sibling COs should automatically inherit it (shown as a grayed placeholder but still editable)
