If an item is also damaged (enough so that it warrants us keeping track):

• Add a second Copy note and type in a brief description of the damage

• Scroll to the Condition section

• Select Damaged from the Item damaged status dropdown

• The date should automatically populate today’s date, but if it doesn’t, add today as the date of damage
