Add an additional multi-character fixed-length field for patron records
Our library would like to be able to track the branch at which a library card was issued separately from a patron's home library/preferred pickup location. Currently, we only have the "home library" field to store this information.
There isn't an available fixed-length field for us to adapt for this purpose, and we expect a variable-length field will be prone to too many variations, typos, etc. over time to be reliable.
The product manager will review this idea for possible inclusion in a future release.
