Browsing Dewey in MD Editor
We noticed that in Metadata editor the browsing in the 676 - Dewey field isn't available: we would like add the feature to scroll the lists from other records, as happens for the 6xx fields (subjects) and 7xx (authors).

The F3 functionality is designed specifically for linking bibliographic headings to an authority record. When used, it opens the defined authority vocabulary in browsing mode, which allows customers to view the full authority record or link it to the bibliographic record where corrections are done (For more details on authority controlled fields in UNIMARC, please refer to the relevant documentation). This functionality is not intended for browsing bibliographic data in other records based on a search term. Browsing bibliographic data is supported through the Browse Bibliographic Headings feature.
For this reason, F3 is available for the UNIMARC 676 field only when it is used in the context of linking. In this situation, Alma checks the vocabulary code in subfield $2 and displays the corresponding authority data for selection.
If your goal is to browse the bibliographic data stored in the 676 fields of your repository, you will need to use the Browse Bibliographic Headings option and select the appropriate Call Number or Classification type. F3 does not serve this purpose, and we are not able to change this behavior.

Hi all, could you please provide more details on the rationale behind this request so we can proceed with processing it?

It would be useful on tag 410, too.
