When editing a new record from a template, the template contains
sometimes examples for field values that guide inputters as to what
enter there. For example:
<datafield tag="245" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">TITLE</subfield>
<subfield code="b">SUBTITLE</subfield>
</datafield>
Disadvantage being that inputters have to delete this helper text in
order to enter the ones they want.
A solution to this problem is to introduce two types of pre-filled
values:
a) regular values, that would stay around after clicking on them,
though inputters can alter them. (Suitable for constant values
in the template, e.g. tag 980 to indicate collections.)
b) volatile values, that would disappear as soon as inputters start
typing, or as soon as they click on the value. (Suitable for
changing values such as the above-mentioned title/subtitle.)
Technically speaking, the templates would look then like:
<datafield tag="245" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">VOLATILE:TITLE</subfield>
<subfield code="b">VOLATILE:SUBTITLE</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="980" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">BOOK</subfield>
</datafield>
BibEdit, upon seeing a pre-filled value with VOLATILE: prefix, would
display the text in some grayish color with JS decorations around that
would make the text disappear upon click. The pre-filled values
without VOLATILE: prefix would be handled in the usual way.
