Hi Emmi,

you said you use the EAN for matching so I wonder if removing the hyphen from
the database column, but not from the MARC record will work? Could you explain
your use case a little more?

Right now this patch makes me a little uneasy as I feel like the information in
the database and in the MARC record should match and this is an automatism that
the library won't be able to control.

In MARC21 024 is used to store EAN, but also a lot of other identifiers
depending on indicator and $2:

024 - Other Standard Identifier (R)
https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd024.html

0 - International Standard Recording Code
1 - Universal Product Code
2 - International Standard Music Number
3 - International Article Number
4 - Serial Item and Contribution Identifier
7 - Source specified in subfield $2

Source of the number or code is specified in subfield $2 (Source of number or
code).
8 - Unspecified type of standard number or code

So by doing this silently, we'll also be doing it for all of those numbers,
some of which we can't tell what they might be ($2)
