Main Form Changes:

(remember to re-import them to the correct level. )

Adding the 'Purpose of Loan' dropdown to the Loan form.

line 4816 in commonpaleo.views.xml

<columnDef>105px,2px,105px,1px,90px,2px,90px,4px,90px,2px,135px,4px,115px,2px,95px,0px,10px,p,p:g</columnDef>

line 4823-4841 in commonpaleo.views.xml

Adding 'show GUID' to the Locality form
lines 5082-5083 in commonpaleo.views.xml
<cell type="label" labelfor="46"/>
 <cell type="field" id="46" name="guid" uitype="textareabrief" colspan="3" rows="2"/>
...
<cell type="field" id="4" name="geoRefVerificationStatus" uitype="checkbox" colspan="2"/>

Adding Collection Object subform to the Field Notebook Page subform
in paleo.views.xml
*make sure the column def =100px,2px,131px,5px,63px,2px,103px,5px,200px,2px,200,20px,p:g
add to the Field Notebook Page viewdef:
<row>
 <cell type="subview" viewname="CollectionObjectSub" id="13" colspan="12" rows="3" name="collectionObjects" initialize="addsearch=true"/>
 </row>
For our purposes (in the CollectionObjectSub viewdef) I took 'project number' and 'collection name' out of the subform and changed the catalog number to span 5 columns.
