Fix $g in 773 / 774 related records
According to documentation (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/040Resource_Management/040Metadata_Management/130Configuring_Related_Records_for_Physical_Inventory), $g in linking entry MARC fields (such as 773 or 774) "links to specific items for the record specified in the $w, $x, and $z subfields). According to support " it is outside Alma's current functionality to be able to be separate an item from a collection of related bib records. It would be an enhancement to this functionality."
I am proposing that Ex Libris fix or enhance this functionality so it will work. My institution has a large collection of 'bound with' physical materials from the 1700s with analytical cataloging. For example, 26 pamphlets bound into one volume. In many instances, they were cataloged as multiple volumes on a specific topic. Without this functionality working, it is not possible to identify which volume belongs to the specific analytic record; they all appear.

Am I right in believing that this issue has been solved now?

I support this idea too. I wonder why there is not mentioned in the documentation that this functionality is "outside Alma's current functionality.
