--- Comment #21 from J Schmidt <jschmidt at switchinc.org> ---
Worked in sandbox ByWater on 1/26/17 (Chrome): Steps taken: 
1.) Searched in the staff client to locate a biblio record.
2.) Clicked on Edit record (to edit biblio)
3.) Defaults to the basic editor. 
4.) I click on indicators next to several MARC fields (243, 250, 710), I was
able to edit and delete both the first and/or second indicators and
successfully save without error. I was able to see the edits/changes. 
5.) Went back into edit biblio screen. Still in basic editing mode. I went into
245 field and noticed subfields can click on. I choose 245$h and changed that
to a comma and was able to save it. This means there is no validation on
retaining correct subfields but perhaps that can be set in the framework
itself. 
6.) Clicking on the ? next to a MARC field correctly takes user to the MARC 21
format web page. (Works as should).
7.) Went to 100 field, entered in subfield a and then clicked on the icon to
perform authority search to locate a personal name authority to link to
subfield 9. Successfully got authority search dialog box to open up and perform
searches. 
8.) Located a personal name authority Campbell-Smith, Duncan. Chose it. 
9.) 100$9 now populated with the authority record number and correct $a
personal name. Saved without error. 
10.) Went into Koha admin > Labs, changed the preference to enable the advanced
cataloging editor. Save.
11.) Went back into Edit biblio. Changed to Advanced editor. 
12.) Went into MARC 500 to edit indicators. I could edit and see numbers.
Success. I had to tread carefully not to overwrite the field data itself. Upon
save the advanced editor validates and tells you which tags are mandatory...
Much improved.
13.) I put in bad indicators for the 300 field and it gave me invalid. Good. I
had to do underline for blank which was not intuitive but me typing those in
manually worked and the editor was able to detect error of incorrect indicator
so far as I could tell.
14.) 003 is not familiar to me so I entered in DDC and Record saved
successfully. 
15.) Went to 650 to try and add in CTRL+D 9 for authority record number...but
no way to access authority search dialog box from this screen. 

I would say this is working well. The advanced editor still needs to allow
macros that stick overtime and are tied to login so as not to lose them.
Keyboard shortcuts or macros needed for fixed fields such as 007, 008, 006
especially.
