Ability to bulk move a patron's existing notes data over to the Dated Notes and disable the old Notes section.
Love the new Dated Notes section with the 8.0 upgrade, however, we would like to be able to bulk move the existing non-blocking and blocking notes to the new Dated Notes fields and then disable the old Notes section.
I know the non-blocking notes can be suppressed to not appear at checkout, but I'm referring to disabling all blocking and nonblocking notes allowing staff to only use the new Dated Notes section.
I think it will cause confusion for member library staff to have both Notes sections enabled and nearly impossible to get them all to agree to use one or the other.

Our libraries have thousands of notes to migrate. We would like to switch to Dated Notes, but this is a daunting task for them. They will need to manually copy/paste them into a new Dated Note, which is quite laborious. Due to the nature of these notes, there are very few that are the same wording to take advantage of bulk adding. If they could be migrated, it would be great if the Note date was migrated as well. With manually moving them they will have the current date.

8.0 has the ability to suppress either/both the Notes and the Dated Notes tabs in the patron workform.
