When changing a pick list to read only, it requires a size limit of at least two

[tlammer]

When checking the box to make a pick list read only, it won't save unless you enter a size limit of at least two. However, that field becomes irrelevant when a pick list is read only so it should be greyed out.

To replicate:
Open an existing pick list that is NOT read only (I used
Check the read only box
Click save
A message saying the count should be at least two appears

It is set that way in the form definition:

<cell id="sizeLimit" initialize="max=500;min=2" isrequired="true" name="sizeLimit" type="field" uitype="spinner" />

Other than the form definition, there is no reason why it can't be -1. Specify 7 would handle both 0 and -1 as "no limit"

Which form definition is it reading from? the accession form definition for that field just says make it a pick list, it does not include size or other information.

It looks like the picklist view is part of system views.
It is not editable in the UI, but you can overwrite the default view by adding your own definition.
Here is how a default view looks like:
https://github.com/specify/specify6/blob/24cbca18e126ac0a68d1343eb4ee32326e3b5bf5/config/backstop/system.views.xml#L166

It also means that we can update this view with new specify 6 release

To clarify, Specify 6 disables the "sizeLimit" field if pick list is read only.
It probably makes sense to replicate that behavior in Specify 7

Can recreate in edge (7.9.6)
