When adventuring in the Mer-kin library, I am getting this:

[1170] Mer-kin Library
Encounter: Playing the Catalog Card
Unsupported choice adventure #704
choice 1: AZ242.19: Intermediate Blood Deceit
choice 2: SM757.18: Aquatic Husbandry, a Cautionary Tale
choice 3: EX296.90: Ritualistic Blood, a Play
Click here to continue in the relay browser.

And indeed, this choice adventure does not appear in the list:

Could we have support for this, please?

I think I would have to read through that script to even know how the choice adventure works well enough to try to support it. Since I'm done with the sea forever, and I never cared about automating it, I'm not likely to get to this.

Click to expand...

I'll summarize.
  • The objective is to learn three clues.
  • If the property merkinVocabularyMastery is 100, then the choices will give a clue. Otherwise there will be more than three choices (up to 13 choices are possible!) and you will get a random result that might (or might not) give a useful clue.
  • Each of the three choices (or another choice if your merkinVocabularyMastery is less than 100) will give a useful clue. There is no way to know which choice will give which of the three clues.
  • The three properties, dreadScroll1, dreadScroll6, dreadScroll8 are the three clues we want to gain, but we do not know which clue corresponds to which of the choices.
  • BBB deals with this uncertainty by simply assuming that the player will always choose them in order from 1 to 3 and study his merkin vocabulary properly.

tl;dr: This can only be automated if you assume that the player doesn't do anything unexpected.

Yeah, I suppose I'd best just reject this feature...

It's non-maxed vocabulary cases that would make it complicated. Or lead to the result that mafia shouldn't try automating that, probably.
 
I'm not without mercy. To make it simple, here's a Pre-Adventure Script which does this and only this. Set it at Preferences -> Automation

Code: 
void friendlyset(string choiceadv, string value, string explan) {
	if(get_property(choiceadv) == value) return;
	print("Adjusting choice adventure: "+explan,"#F87217");
	set_property(choiceadv,value);
}
void friendlyset(int choiceadv, int value, string explan) {
	friendlyset("choiceAdventure"+choiceadv, to_string(value), explan); }

if(my_location() == $location[Mer-kin Library]) {
	if(get_property("merkinVocabularyMastery") == "100") {
		int clues;
		foreach prop in $strings[dreadScroll1, dreadScroll6, dreadScroll8]
			if(get_property(prop) != "0") clues += 1;
		friendlyset(704, (clues + 1) % 4,"Card Catalog clues found: "+clues);
	}
}
