Include Local Subject Added Entry - Form Subdivision (690 $v)
690 $v is currently ignored upon ingest, causing Local Subject entries to disregard subheadings in Concept displays. We're attempting to create showcases based on saved concept searches for some of our local collections, rather than needing to manually updated showcases as new items are added. Subcollections with subject heading like Diversity Collection -- Asian/Pacific Islander literature, Diversity Collection -- Latinx literature, and Diversity Collection -- LGBTQIA+ literature all display under the concept Diversity Collection in Discover.

MARC does not define subfields for 69X fields:
69X - Local Subject Access Fields (R)
https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd69x.html"Fields 690-699 are reserved for local subject use and local definition. For interchange purposes, documentation of the structure of the 69X fields and input conventions should be provided to exchange partners by the organization initiating the exchange."
Vega does use these subfields for 6XX fields when defined in MARC.

This is a valid form subdivision and provides greater visibility into the subject. It should be supported.
