OFST020080 – Share Class Consolidation Key
An unique alpha-numeric string that is equal for all share classes of a fund. Usually this field is populated with the proprietary share class key of the fund company's database. This field helps to decide whether a new ISIN represents a new fund or a new share class of an existing fund.
This field is a 'Hybrid Field', meaning that the recipient may change the value in their database (https://openfunds.org/knowledge/whitepapers/fieldtypology/). Therefore, it can be used for consistency checks only for one specific transmission between sender and recipient. Otherwise there is a risk, that in the sender's database there are conflicting consolidation keys from different senders.

FundsXML 4 mapping
FundsXML 4.2.11 has no element for this field. The converter keeps the value as CustomAttributes/Attribute named OF_OFST020080 on the share class (or position), so FundsXML → openfunds restores it unchanged.
The field mapping table lists every field; openfunds to FundsXML explains the rules behind it.
