[Evergreen-catalogers] Help with importing items and not keeping holdings field (945 or 949)

[Sarah Childs]

Hi, Janet.
Have you tried setting the fields as one of the ones that gets stripped on
import as Jennifer suggests? I haven't tried this in Vandelay in recent
memory, but I know when I import in ACQ the fields get stripped but my
holdings do get added.
