The list of valid MARC codes is very long and the list that will produce a link
in the OPAC is still very short. I think we should leave things as is. Adding
drop downs is dangerous if you don't know which values have been used already
or might be used in incoming records. If the entry is not in the list, the data
will be lost. And a full list of valid MARC codes would also be quite long.

Can you explain? Do you mean for enriching data?

I think that would not be easily done. If you have common names, the
identifiers are added to allow to pick 'the right one'. If you try to match
just on the name alone it's too risky.

> - add the feature to the staff interface?

That would be a nice enhancement, but I think it's great as is already. We had
3 different libraries requesting to be able to see the ORCID in the OPAC until
now. Looking forward to close these tickets :)
