Hello. I want to have a workflow that involves having student assistants who write up 505 formatted notes fields, using the $t and $r subfields, in email and send them to our copy cataloguer for copy-and-pasting into the appropriate record. The intent is to not have the students assistants have access to the full cataloguing client, for training and record integrity reasons, but not to make the copy cataloguer have to copy and paste every single subfield of a long table of contents piece by piece. Is there any way to do this? Obviously, using a literal $ character won't work. Is there any character that could be used in email, either directly or in a binary attachment like a Word document, that would? If not, are there any plans for upcoming versions to improve on the "whole field" copy and paste functionality including this problem of handling subfield markers? Thanks!
