--- Comment #13 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Rereading this I wondered:

Maybe we should keep the first issue as is, but rename it "Start issue" or
similar and have a new and different field, perhaps linked to subscription
history, for the first issue published/available in the library if there is a
need for having this information? 

My use case was this:

The subscription start date could have been at the beginning of the year or
even years ago (most here are renewed automatically) and I don't really care
about this date for the predictions.

The "Start issue" would be the one I start predicting with.

The "historical" first issue  would be the first one in my library's
collection.

... and now I wonder if this isn't what the subscription history fields are
already supposed to be used for:

- Check manual history
- Go to the subscription
- Edit the manual history
- Change the subscription start date.

It won't change the start date when editing the subscription, as these fields
are all stored separately in the database. So maybe the solution is ultimately
to make the history more accessible and maybe add any additionally needed
information there?
