Add OPACMSG field to return in APIs
Add OPACMSG field to return in APIs so that third party services such as Bibliocommons can pick it up for the discovery layer.

The OPAC Message is currently available in Sierra API responses for bibliographic and item requests.

In Mobile Worklists, staff want the OPACMSG to show up in the initial screen instead of the full record display. It would be a time saver. Thanks.

Can Innovative Mobile be set up to display that item fixed field in the full record display? Can Mobile Worklists be set up to display that field in the brief display to save staff the time of having to go into the full record of each title? Thanks.

The OPAC Message is already included in the Fixed Fields in the Bib and Item APIs. Which APIs are you using where you cannot get the OPAC Message in the API response?

We also have a third party discovery layer on our system which does not display the OPACMSG like Encore. Some of our locations have spent a good amount of time and we've created some detailed OPAC messages over the years but now there is not a way to have them display in discovery.
