MARC 856$r mistakenly defined as obsolete

The MARC Avram schema https://github.com/pkiraly/qa-catalogue/blob/main/avram-schemas/marc-schema.json defines field 856$r as obsolete:

        "r": {
          "label": "Settings [OBSOLETE, 2020]",
          "deprecated": true
        },

The subfield was reintroduced with another definition in 2022:

$r - Settings [OBSOLETE, 2020]
$r - Standardized information governing use and reproduction [NEW, 2022]

@jorol Thanks for calling attention to it. I'll fix it soon. BTW: it is very strange policy from the MARC21 Committee to remove it and shortly after reinstalling it with a different meaning.

Yes, there will be many records with this subfield that were never adapted to the new rules...

@jorol I have updated the schema(s). The update also reflects the last two MARC updates see #544 and #545.

Thanks!

Could you please check that again? The field is still marked as deprecated in the schema files:

...
"r": {
"label": "Settings [OBSOLETE, 2020]",
"deprecated": true
}, 
...

Should be:

...
"r": {
"label": "Standardized information governing use and reproduction",
"repeatable": true
},
...

Sorry, there are locally defined 856s as well, and I was not careful enough. Could you check it again?

Looks good, thanks!
