When you are modifying a MARC bibliographic framework, you can choose in which
tab a particular subfield appears, or 'ignore' it. 

The description under this choice is
'Ignore means that the subfield does not display in the record editor'

Which is true, but it doesn't mention that the subfield is completely removed
from the record. This can cause data loss.

If you're not aware of this, the 'Ignore' description is a bit misleading.

I always instruct system administrators to use the 'Editor' checkbox if they do
not want to see a particular subfield in the editor, and use only 'Ignore' if
they really want to flush that subfield completely.

I think the description could be improved to add that values will be deleted
from the subfield as well.

Maybe
'Ignore means that the subfield does not display in the record editor and that
it's value, if any, is deleted from the record'
