Just a point to consider. There have been many times when I have migrated data from other systems into Evergreen and encounter values like "*** REQUIRED FIELD ***". Without teeth to enforce the restrictions, people will either forget, or choose to skip the needed data entry, maybe with the idea of coming back later (and then forgetting). That said, we could develop a framework for enforcing restrictions in the MARC, given will and resources. -- Jason
