Bug Description
This is a bug to discuss support in Evergreen for RDA 336/337/338 fields. These are similar format fields based on non-finalized controlled vocabularies.

It seems to me that these might make sense as entries in config.
It's not clear to me if the codes or terms should be used. In Sitka's production database there is already a mix of useage. For Sitka, the desire is to be able to ingest any RDA record and have it just work, so ideally codes or terms should be possible, but I don't know how this could be accomodated given the current setup of record_attr.
It's not clear to me where a logical place for displaying this information or if it's worth displaying at all, but it may be useful for moving format icons away from the leader among other things.

I would like to see more specific icons in the OPAC, possibly based on the CMC of the 33x tags (content, media, carrier). It would be more helpful to our patrons to display symbols for a DVD or VHS instead of the generic icon for all videorecordings, to take one example. Tag 007 is one way to identify a specific format, but the new 33x tags offer another avenue.
