Hi Andrew, I’m not sure as I haven’t investigated macros very closely. At a glance, it looks like they’re stored in the browser’s local storage ("koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/lib/koha/cateditor/preferences.js"), so there would be no way to push macros out to users. The cataloguers would have to set them up themselves. It might work for 1 library I have in mind, but it seems more like a workaround, and probably wouldn’t be suitable for many other libraries. But thanks for the suggestion. One of these days, I do need to examine the editor more closely.

Hi David, Could macros do what you're looking for here? Create a macro for each type of record that inserts all of the blank fields you need for that type?

On systems like Horizon, it’s possible to have different templates, so cataloguers can at a glance see what fields they need to fill in for a particular type of record (e.g. book vs journal vs dvd). If it’s not possible, I want to make it possible, but I’m not sure if we should use the “Editor” setting in MARC Bibliographic Frameworks, or create a new feature for providing Rancor Templates. Personally, I’ve always hated how MARC Bibliographic Frameworks act as both Editor templates (for rendering HTML) and data filters (ie if the field is not in the framework, it gets stripped out of the record at save time). In my ideal world, editor templates and data filters would be 2 separate features. For Rancor, I think MARC Bibliographic Frameworks already act as data filters, and it would be backwards incompatible to use them for templates as well, so adding a new feature for Rancor templates is probably the logical conclusion?
