Hi Mary,
To append subfields to existing tags using MARC batch edit, I've found
this works fine:
- use the Add Action Rule
- enter the Marc Tag, e.g. 856
- in Subfields (optional) enter the additional subfield -e.g. $9
- tab through to MARC Data field - the string would be 856 \\$9Your Data.
The new subfield should be added to each 856 tag in the record.

Hi all,
Yesterday I tried out MARC batch editing in our test version of
Evergreen 2.2, and I have a question. (What else is new?)
Is there a way to append subfields to an existing tag without replacing
the entire tag? We use subfield 9 in tag 856 for our libraries that
subscribe to Overdrive, and when a new library joins, I’d like to be
able to add a new subfield 9 to a batch of records for them.So far, my
attempts have only wiped the entire 856, creating itanew with just the
subfields 9.Can the batch editor work at just the subfield level, or is
it intended towork only on an entire tag?
Thanks,
Mary
