Please allow customer-specific definition of local subfields regarding sorting and non-repeatability
The configuration of resources in Alma offers the option to define local subfields as "non-repeatable". However, this has no effect. No error message appears when saving if a local subfield is accidentally populated multiple times.
The normalization process "Marc21 Bib normalize on save" offers the option to sort subfields (tab "Task Parameters"). However, this has no effect on manually edited and saved data in MDE. Sorting can be triggered by the process from time to time for a dataset, but it does not run continuously. We had hoped to achieve sorting directly in MDE, which would allow operators to better recognize data entry errors directly.
