The issue of generating 008 filed in MARC 21 Bib
While creating a new MARC 21 bib record, Alma generates the 008 automatically, such as "191126s2013####xx######r#####000#0#eng#d"
The value in position 7-10 is a fixed date "2013". We would like the position 7-10 can be customized and retrieved from 264$c or 260$c.
MARC21 OTB template of Books/Computer Files/Maps/Music, field 008 positions 7-11 had the year 2013. This was modified to the current year 2021.

Good afternoon and thanks a lot for your idea.
For a normalization routine which fills in 008 pos. 7-10 from the 260 or 264 c see "Fix and populate 008 position 7-10 year from 260 and 264 subfield c" at https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/blog/alma-normalization-rule-examples/Additionally, the reason you have "2013" as a default there may be because it is in your default template.
