Elaine, thanks for the info. I started a new bug for the issue that is
tripping us up. I really don't want to have to ask our cataloging staff to
re-create ~300 copy templates.
Bug report at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1691269
I found a simple fix that seems like it allows the -1 values to work
correctly, we are testing it out in production now.
Is there a bug report on the issue of including default values in
templates? I'm curious what the javascript console error is when that
comes up.
