MDE expand from template CZ records
Alma currently doesn't have the ability to "expand from template" for Community records. The option will enable MDE users to use a template to apply multiple local extension fields to CZ records, minimizing the unintentional error of changing the CZ records for everyone.
This idea has not received sufficient support from the community through votes. As a result, it is being closed to allow those votes to be reallocated to other active proposals. We appreciate the contribution and encourage continued participation in shaping future initiatives.

I support this idea as a way to expand the use of local extensions and encourage libraries to create local extensions instead of putting local metadata in CZ records. I think there are a couple steps Ex Libris would need to implement: 1) allow templates in the metadata editor to include local extension fields; 2) allow Alma users to apply local extension templates to CZ records.
