Description
Label a supplied artwork-copy edition status.
Art records distinguish inscriptions, source readings, edition states, provenance dates and authority identifiers. A recorded signature is not authenticated authorship, and a possible-date span is not a probability distribution. Linear impression/plate ratios preserve selected geometry without establishing edition identity or value.
Label a supplied artwork-copy edition status.
When to use this tool
Use Art Edition Out Of Series Copy Tag when you already have copyId, recordedCopyStatus and need to label a supplied artwork-copy edition status.

- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

}Limitations and assumptions
- No copy, edition size, numbering, authenticity, scarcity or market value is verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect original works, source documents, catalogues and relevant authority records. Use the complete provenance and scholarly assessment for attribution, chronology or rights; local labels and ratios do not make those determinations.
