In the basic editor, it is possible to manually search for an authority record
and link to it while preserving the original punctuation in the bibliographic
record. It is also possible to search for and link to a broader heading and the
additional subfields will remain intact in the bibliographic record.

If you try to do either one of these things in the advanced editor using
ctrl+shift+L to get to the authority search, once you link to the authority
record that you select the MARC field you are editing will be rewritten to
match the corresponding field in the authority record.

It would be very nice if the advanced cataloging editor would simply append the
authid in $9 and leave the rest of the MARC field alone.
