Hi Mary, Something similar happened to me, but it was when I was working with the new Vandelay development in master, so I'm not sure if the method that ultimately worked for me will also work for you. When I set up a profile that preserve the 901c field and added the 856 field, I was able to get Vandelay to add the 856 field to the record.
FWIW, I believe this was eventually fixed in master so that it would no longer be necessary to preserve or replace a 901c field to get Vandelay to add an 856. Let us know if it works!
