Starting with 22.11, the MARC preview of auts is very different from the MARC
preview of bibs.  When displaying aut search results, the user can select for a
particular aut record:
Actions
MARC preview

And what appears seems to be a compilation of the tabbed display with all the
MARC labels, e.g., "455 ## - SEE FROM TRACING--GENRE/FORM TERM" included.  So
it's not really a MARC preview--it's a repeat of the tabbed display assembled
into one window.

Since the MARC tag labels are already there for authorities in the tabbed
display (like the MARC tag labels are present in the OPAC "MARC view"), they
are already present for anyone wanting a MARC display with textual field
labels.  An unlabeled display for auts doesn't really exist, and it would be
great if the "MARC preview" for auts was the unlabeled MARC display available
for staff, just like the MARC preview for bibs is a unlabeled MARC display.

I really want a way to see an unlabeled MARC aut record in one screen—to be
able to look at it, read it, etc., quickly.  There is currently no way to do
that, and I think having the MARC preview repeat all the tag/field labels that
are already present in the regular display is redundant.  I would love​ for the
aut MARC preview to be exactly the same as the bib MARC preview, so there is a
way for catalogers to quickly see an unlabeled MARC record that they can
examine, scan, read, etc.
