Allow links from Alma Reading list course information to the Courses part (where role-appropriate) to ease checking/modifying course detail
Although complicated by considerations of space and multiple course associations on a single list, from a unified workflow perspective it would be very helpful in Alma to let library staff navigate back and forth from a Reading list to the related course(s) information. Currently this is rather clunky as if a list is created by an instructor or LTI method, or otherwise lacks details/needs correction, you have to leave the list to go into Courses separately and re-find the thing you have just left, and then go back to the list again.
It would make sense in an unified resource management system to be able to process a list and be able to click through and edit the course information - whether changing Course title information, participant numbers, term, Course year, section info, etc. This is often custom information.
If role restrictions were required, it could be made a course reserves Manager privilege or similar.
A similar point about Alma List<>Course navigation was made in this request
https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/33389413-course-code-visible-in-reading-list-overview-in-al
which aimed more at the TaskList landing page. In contrast, This idea relates to the Edit Reading List page itself, and the course data in the header area (so within a list).

In a sense, this is also related to course searchability issues in Alma more generally, see:
