It is a good suggestion. Though I admit that validation is a very important process and the current procedure works for me. And if the subject is already validated anyway, then you won't have to do anything as it will skip it, really. Though, potentially, what you suggest may lessen time. For this to happen in the current setup, a mechanism will have to be created to keep in touch with what has been edited and what has been not in the catalog record.

Or maybe a separate tool 'Insert subject' in the search catalog module so that you don't have to enter the actual catalog record? Then it may skip validation entirely if you will select an already existing authority record.

Edit: Ooops, did not see the other replies. Good news since this will be already addressed.
