Hi Carsten.

For v1, we are planning to have the ability to Tag items (no name, just value).  I think Anya can point you to a slide deck with an overview of how that will work, in case you missed the presentation.

We have also discussed the need for custom fields on records in FOLIO and we have some mockups that were created as part of that discussion (it's in the context of the user record, but if we develop this, it will be a general feature): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Lll00TnKl8jcd_dK51R0AbGxw8wQWuTm

The requirements for custom fields went beyond simple name, value pairs.  There was a desire to specify field type and values, allow repeatable fields and the selection of a primary, if repeatable.  As you can imagine, this is a non-trivial feature to develop.  More conversation is needed and Khalilah Gambrell, the PO for the User Management SIG has it on her list of things to circle back on with the UM and RA SIGs (and then with other SIGs, as well, if we decide on an approach we like).

Just wanted to provide some context.  Hope that's helpful!

Cate

Hi all,

thinking about location details and the possibility to define name/value pairs there, an idea about a similar approach for item details came to my mind. Perhaps this way libraries could define their specific imte-properties in a semi structured way...

Have a great weekend,
   Carsten
