MODSOURCE-962: MARC Modifications fail for UpdatesClosedPreview

Recent movement on 1290: If you look at the job documented in 1290, there is an intial marc to marc match then a submatch to holdings holdings type (electronic) if match, update marc srs and holdings. If there is no match, create instance and holdings. Outside of this match/no match and under the first match, there is a marc modify action to remove the field with holdings info. The comment in 1290 addresses that modify action which we need to document Data Import Marc Modifications for MARC Bibliographic RecordsPreview .

Slack survey:
1. How would you feel if DI logs were enhanced to say “Unchanged” when it encountered a record that was the same as one processed earlier? Answers: Need more information

2. Would you be fine if the current behavior as explained above continues, if the updated date and user are reflected by recent jobs rather than this “Unchanged” or no update action? Answers: Need more information

Information needed:

• how does FOLIO determine that a record is a duplicate?

• How should the administrative metadata be treated (update date, etc)?

• How should this action be logged?
