Display of 541 and 561 fields in holdings records should be determined by value in first indicator of the field
Currently if display of 541 and/or 561 fields in holdings records is enabled in "Holdings Display Customization", 541 and/or 561 fields display in the GetIt section in Primo regardless of the value in the first indicator. If the value in the first indicator is zero then the 541/561 field should not be displayed - this is standard MARC coding (see https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd541.html and https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd561.html ).
Ex Libris proposed a solution to us where when the holdings record is saved the a 541 and/or 561 field with first indicator empty or 1 is copied to a 999 field, and in the Holdings Display Customization table display of the 999 is enabled. We don't feel this is acceptable as it is changing/perverting the source data to accommodate a failing of the Primo software, when Primo should be able to use established MARC coding to display or not display the 541/561 fields in holdings records.
