           Summary: Need more efficient way to edit authority data errors
                    from bib frameworks
           Product: Koha
           Version: rel_3_0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: MARC Authority data support
        AssignedTo: galen.charlton at liblime.com

Currently in Koha 3.0 if a bib tag (and specifically the subfield a) is defined
to be under authority control via its framework setup,  if the user needs to
make any changes to the contents of $a to correct typos etc. they must edit the
authority directly. Most cataloger's will catch errors when they are in the
actual bib record editing it and do NOT want to have to wait until they have
made the changes in the bib and saved them to then either a) link to the
authority via the MARC tab in bib detail page in staff client to edit or search
for the authority itself to edit.

It would be a nice enhancement to add an "Edit" link to the search results list
that opens up in the new window when a user clicks on "Tag Editor" from an
authority controlled tags $a within the bib frameworks and searches for the
authority. Clicking on edit should cause the authority framework editor to open
in that same search results list window so once the change is made and saved
the cataloger can close the window and return to the main staff client window
to finish editing the bib. 

We will need to clearly document that this is the preferred way of making
changes to errors in the $a for libraries that link tags to authority
controlled data (versus editing directly in the bib framework (bug 2495)) and
also to make it clear that the changes will not be reflected when the go back
to the bib record and even after they have saved the bibs until
merge_authority.pl has completed it's updates.
