    Is it possible to mask SSN from display, but show id type in form?

    Description:
    We have implemented the ability to mask a particular id type from displaying (tab_bor_id.eng, col. 9) for one of our libraries, to prevent display of social security numbers in the Additional IDs tab.
    However, this also prevents id type 99 from appearing in the "Key Type" field drop-down menu in the Add ID form.
    Is there anyway to allow 99 to appear in the Key Type drop-down, but still prevent display of the ID in the Additional IDs display once it has been entered?

    Resolution:
    No, there is now way to allow 99 to appear in the Key Type drop-down.
    The "Key Type" field drop-down menu in the Add ID form is populated by the tab_bor_id.eng table and the programs that allow you to create an additional ID also refer to the values in tab_bor_id.eng.
