Hi, Katrin!

Of course!

This is the relevant documentation:
https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd760787.html

And I think Koha already does this correctly, but I haven't tested *all* the
fields.  This is the way the indicators work:

First indicator: 0 = do not display a note
  1 = display a note
(This usually means to a system, "display a 500 note in addition to displaying
the 7XX linking entry field," so most often it's set to zero, because the 7XX
linking entry field has all the relevant information in it--and the link!)

Second indicator controls the display of default words or phrases about the
relationship between the bibs being linked, and you will see in the MARC
documentation above a list of "display constants" (i.e., default display words
and phrases) that can be chosen.

For all fields except 780 and 785, the second indicator can also be set to 8
which will allow the display of a note from the free text entered into $i. 
(This is how $i is used.)  A very common implementation of this are the 776
fields on related print and online versions of books; it wouldn't be helpful to
use the display constant "Available in another form" because that doesn't tell
you *what* the other form is, so the 776s usually look something like this:

On the printed book record:
776 08 $i Online version $a Hobb, Robin. $t Mad ship $w (OCoLC)1234567
On the ebook version:
776 08 $i Print version $a Hobb, Robin. $t Mad ship $w (OCoLC)7654321

This is a bib in our catalog using the very common 780 & 785, showing Koha
correctly using the second indicator display constants:

Hope this helps--let me know if this was anywhere near what you wanted!!
