Add barcode to Managed Deleted Repository report
It would be very helpful if the Managed Deleted Repository Report could include the barcode of the item that was withdrawn. We were recently working on an inventory project, compiling a spreadsheet with barcodes. Some items were withdrawn, but we had them in our barcode spreadsheet and needed to delete them. We thought that the Managed Deleted Repository Report would help us identify them, but the barcode wasn't in the report.

I have just written up an idea for the same thing and only then thought to see if someone else had already submitted! Thanks!
I also thought Description would be useful for our particular use case, but preference Barcode overall.
Given I took the time to write it up, I'll add the details in full in the event it proves useful to reinforce the suggestion, and I'll also attach my screenshot example for our use case of accidental deletion of two items instead of one and wanting to Restore. The Customize View display flows through to the excel export.

Please add Barcode and Description to the Customize View display options in Manage Deleted Repository
Adding the Barcode and Description to the Customize View option display in Resources > Advanced Tools > Manage Deleted Repository would be very useful for troubleshooting and the Restore workflow for multiple copies of the same title withdrawn on the same day, particularly for the Physical Items option.
While most of the information fields available already focuses on title level information, there is a precedence for item level information such as Item call number, Permanent Location, and Copy ID (but we don’t actively use Copy ID and do use Barcode).
If only one field was decided to be added of the two suggested of Barcode and Description, the preference would be for Barcode.
Please see the screenshot attached example where it is impossible to differentiate between the two items deleted, hindering the ability to effectively move forward to restore the one which was mistakenly deleted.
