Ability to create custom rollup rules
Add the ability to add local rules to assist titles/formats in rollups.
For example, a Vega library could create a rule that says Overdrive ebooks / eaudios can still rollup with physical materials even if the Overdrive MARC records lack a 245$b (subtitle) but the physical title MARC records contain a 245$b.

As with Bill Taylor's comment below on uniform titles, the use of 240s in manga is causing us significant issues with multiple volumes being rolled up with another volume (ex. the record for vol.7 has volumes 1,3 and 4 rolled up under it). This makes Vega Discover almost unusable for finding graphic novels.
Overdrive records are also problematic, in not rolling up due to the poor cataloging of those records. -

We experience the same issue with numerous graphic novels' bibliographic records. We would rather not have to touch these records and have them roll up properly and the authors display in Vega. Most of these records do not have 100 Author, only the 256 $c for a statement of responsibility.

See comment from PrarieCat 1/9/24 on Vega Listserv - https://listserv.iii.com/read/messages?id=507451.
We run into this issue, where a title like Bloom's Literary Places (Paris, London, etc.) were rolling up with travel guides with the same title (i.e., Paris), because in both cases the items in question had the same 245$a and neither had an author. I don't know if this would be remedied by being able to customize or not. Our catalogers would prefer to NOT change the 245 to something other than what's on the book in order to make Vega roll up correctly.

On behalf of PRCAT,
We have 9 records that are rolled up when searching for “The séance and other stories” when they shouldn’t. The author, language and 240 matches however the 245's are completely different.

All records have:
Author 100 1 Singer, Isaac Bashevis,|d1904-1991.
Alt Title 240 0 0 Short stories.|kSelections.|lEnglish or Alt Title 240 0 0 Short stories.|lEnglish -

I agree, Bill. Two records with the same generic uniform title (such as "Short stories. Selections") might have completely different content.

This would be HUGELY helpful. In addition to the Overdrive example, in the original post, it would be great to be able to have Vega not look at uniform titles in determining rollups.
