add 'append fields to a record' functionality
In Aleph, we used a lot the job p-manage-18 (load Aleph sequential record format) with the parameter: Update current records in the database - Append fields to a record.
This is no longer possible in Alma, I can only overwrite a record completely, but not add fields to a existing record.
The only way at the moment is to export an existing record (to MarcEdit for example), add the new fields there manually, and import the record again.
Usually, we have to add up to 100 new metadata fields per record, and they are all different per record, therefore I…2 votesHello All,

normalization rules
Expand language for rules. The few terms, like removeField or prefix, just permit poor operations.
Maybe the use of another language like c++, basic or java can help.4 votesHello All,

Add more Law Libraries to the External Search Profiles
We would like more Law Libraries to be added to the External Search Profiles. Law Libraries use a different classification schema for call numbers and it would be great if we could add the correct information into our records when importing them.
Specifically we would like the following:
York University
Alberta Law Libraries
Law Society of Upper Canada
Supreme Court of Canada Library10 votesHello All,

Fix split editor display when 856 field is present
I have noticed that when there is a really long URL in the 856 field on a bibliographic record, the right pane in split editor view does not display correctly. You have to pull the left pane over as far as you can to see the contents of the right pane. Even after moving the left pane over you still cannot see the right pane very well. This makes editing a holdings record while looking at the bibliographic record very difficult. Please see the attached image "8561" to see how the record appears in split view before moving the…

Return Expand From Template wide drop-down menu
In the previous metadata editor the drop-down menu of serial patterns was wide enough so that we could see the complete description of each pattern. The new metadata editor cuts off the descriptions so that we must guess which is the correct pattern, and then remove the field and start over if the guess is wrong.
