    It depends on the specific user group and the library network you are working in if this is useful. Not each library needs such a functionality.

    I wonder if this request takes into account that certain fields in the 1XX/6XX/7XX have different first indicator definitions in the MARC21 standard for Bibliographic fields compared to their corresponding Authority fields. In such cases, copying the first indicator from the Authority to the Bibliographic heading would result in incorrect data. Is the reqeust is about Names only? Hans, I would recommend consulting with AAFG group for a details spec where this requested behavior is valid to which fields.

    As far as I can see for the D-A-CH users only the following MARC21 fields are relevant for the suggested first indicator automatic adaptation/setting:

    - 100/110/111
    - 600/610/611
    - 700/710/711

    Only in the case of geographic names the authority heading field 151 has no indicator in contrast to the corresponding MARC bibliographic fields 110, 610 and 710. Nevertheless, the implementation of such an automatic process should be feasible.

    As far as I can see in records with data field 041$a ger it is possible to link CZ bibliographic data to GND authority data. Please have a look at CZ MMS-ID 993780000000217686.

    Hello everyone, for those who raised comments about the correction of 830 $v, could you please provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the scenario in which this subfield gets overwritten?

    Btw, there was already a similar proposal, but to my mind it only referred to local authority records:

    In my opinion it would be a useful/helpful option to separately save those records within a set which were pushed by the cataloger to MDE before. Or is there yet a way to do so?
