Hi Charles,
just something to keep in mind: the keyword index in Koha searches the
whole record. So if you use full names like in your example below,
searching for an author Charles, would also turn up the records edited
by you. It might make sense to work with codes or abbreviations.

Hi, all!
I'd like to thank everyone for the help I have received in the past.
My library would like to begin tracking changes we make to the catalog
records. I already know Koha does keep track of changes, for when I click
on "Modification Logs", I see a rich history.
What I had in mind was something that we did in another library job of
mine: rededicated a 9XX field to log a brief synopsis of the changes we
made. Mostly just the cataloger's name or initials, timestamp, and a few
words, e.g.,
949 \\ $a Kelley, Charles. $b 2020-02-28 $c Added subject field. $c
Romanized Cyrillic title.
949 \\ $a Sloshkin, Victoria. $b 2020-02-29 $c Added editor [700]. $c
Added series title.
949 \\ $a Watanabe, Junko. $b 2020-02-30 $c Fixed title indicators.
949 \\ $a Watanabe, Junko. $b 2020-02-31 $c OK.
Nothing more involved or detailed than the illustrations. If we really
need the detail, we'll look at the modification logs.
I know the 9XX fields are locally defined, but as far as I can
determine, Koha uses the 942, 952, and 999 fields and they are to be
avoided. Are there other 9XX fields that we ought to avoid? I have added to
the avoidance list the CANMARC fields and the other fields in the Koha
default framework.
I understand I'll have to add the brief change log field (949 in my
examples)and its subfields to the frameworks.
Many thanks for your help.
