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.

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.
