The problem with these is that neither of these fields are the ACTUAL ISSN which causes some issues on both output as well as making adding records clunky to ensure that academics put their ISSN in the correct field.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>What I’m looking at doing is adding a “Type” dropdown to the Print ISSN definition that can toggle the ISSN to Print or Online, change the phrase on the Print ISSN field to just identify it as an ISSN (it’s already repeatable) and make sure that the ISSN field is included in the export. There are a few potential “gotcha’s” with this that I’m concerned about.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>Will doing this jeapordise the existing data in any way?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>If I set the default to “Print” will this default any pre-existing records to a Print type?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]>At the moment we’re looking at manually moving the Online ISSN’s over to the new field, however if there is an easy way to consolidate these two fields I’m all ears! <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>Andrew<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><br><b>The University of Lincoln, located in the heart of the city of Lincoln, has established an international reputation based on high student satisfaction, excellent graduate employment and world-class research.</b></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:Arial'><br>The information in this e-mail and any attachments may be confidential.
