Hi Kathy, Eureka! That worked! Thanks so much, I never would have figured that out by myself.
You just made my day!

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!
