Set capacity of rack using code

Is it possible to set the capacity of a rack using code? I would like to dynamically assign rack maximum capacity as a method of controlling the max inventory of the finished goods bank.

I am also open to suggestions on better methods of controlling finished goods inventory.

Thank you

Use this code

getvarnode(Model.find("YourRack"),"maxcontent").value

Thanks, @Joshua S. Any meaningful difference (error catching, speed, future-proofness, etc) to your answer vs. @Brendon N's answer?

No, they both reference the same information
