The ideal approach is for ICE as a FIX member to submit a Gap Analysis directly to the FIX Global Technical Committee to add the ManualOrderIndicator(1028) to additional FIX messages. The field was added about 15 years ago in the context of the OATS Phase III Extension (EP9) but the requirement had only been for single leg orders at the time.

It makes sense to add the field to the root level of the NewOrderMultileg(35=AB), MultilegOrderCancelReplace(35=AC), and NewOrderCross(35=c) messages. You should be suggesting the addition to your counterparties. You can also add an entry to the forum entry for errors and omissions found [here](http://forum.fixtrading.org/t/fix-standard-errors-and-omissions/14231). It is not an error but nowadays we would see this as an omission and ensure that new tags are added to all messages of a group (e.g. order handling) if applicable.
