Allow for the ability to configure whether the "Import references" option appears at "Add" option in a Reading List.
We do not wish to expose the "import references" option when the "Add" option is chosen in a Reading List - this should be configurable as to whether a customer exposes this feature or not. We created a case (08053103) re same to which Support responded stating that "Currently, there is no option to hide the Import References from the Add menu".

I think this may be the same as idea https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/48647015-new-ui-please-allow-institutions-to-customise-th (although that is slightly broader about being able to customise the options shown in the Add menu in general, it is the Import References one specifically that was mentioned as something it would be preferable to disable). I found this last week when going through ideas I had voted on ahead of the 2026 CERVs.
I also raised a support case on this issue a couple of months ago (08266502) and was directed by ExL to yet another older idea (https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/395697-leganto/suggestions/46301143-allow-configuration-of-list-level-import-options) which does not have any votes - presumably because it was superseded by the first one I mentioned above and ideas exchange is difficult to navigate.
In any case I'm happy so many institutions want this, it's strange we can't hide a feature that we do not want to advertise as it just creates cleanup work for library staff! We were advised all we could do was edit the wording of the label to include 'not currently in use' which we have done, but I think looks confusing.
