Validation exception based on conditions in linked authority records
There are certain types of authority records, such as facets, that should not be utilized in bibliographic records. MARC 21 Authority offers some options for supporting that, such as 008/15="b" ("Headings are not appropriate for use as a subject access entry in bibliographic records") and 008/09="b" ("100-15X field contains an unestablished heading that is not authorized for use as the element in an access point in a bibliographic record").
However, when authorizing authority fields in the Alma Metadata Editor, there does not seem to be a way to prevent such records to be authorized.
One way to prevent this would be if it was possible to create validation exceptions based on conditions in the linked authority records. Then we could create a validation exception for e.g. the case when a bibliographic record links to an authority record that has 008/15="b".
