Option to directly edit fixed fields
The workform for viewing/editing fixed field data is useful in some cases, there are times when experienced cataloguers would find it faster and easier to have the option edit those lines directly.

While you can directly edit the 006, 007, and 008, they do not automatically overwrite like it does in the client. Because they are fixed fields with a standardized number of characters, it would be easier for experienced cataloguers to just type what needs to be there, rather than deleting the correct number of characters or opening the workform.

Hi Eleanor,
Would you share which fixed fields your catalogers want to directly edit and are unable to? The 006, 007, and 008 fields are all able to be directly edited in the MARC editor.
