[Evergreen-catalogers] Options in control fields

[Tricia Everaert]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
The scenario of wanting to change the fixed fields comes up when I'm
importing single records from Z39.50 or BookWhere, not the polished records
from our vendors. It seems once the record is imported Evergreen doesn't
like to change those fields, so I'll try editing a record before importing
to see if that works the magic I need.
