> Hi Andreas.
Hi David!

> I'm not familiar with UNIMARC, but I would like to test this bug.
That's great! Thank you for your interest in this bug report.

> - Are there any fields that have the tag editor already enabled?
There aren't any, no. See below for instructions on how to enable.

> - Do I need to edit the authority structure (Administration > Catalog >
> Authority types)?
Yes. I'll outline the steps required below:
- Go to 'Home > Administration > Authority types' and click on
  'Actions -> MARC structure' for the 'NP' (Personal Name) auth type.
- Next, search for tag 510 and click on 'Actions -> Subfields' for
  that tag.
- Finally, click 'Edit' next to subfield 'a' (Entry element), then
  pick 'CO' from the 'Thesaurus' dropdown menu. Save your settings
  and you're good to go! From now on, when editing a Personal Name
  authority, the 'Tag editor' button next to subfield 510$a will
  launch the authority finder plugin.

> - Where does the 'Special relationship:' dropdown menu appear?
It will appear when you launch the authority finder plugin via
the 'Tag editor' button. The menu itself will be near the bottom
of the popup window, under the 'Relationship information' section.

> - I assume I need to enable the AuthDisplayHierarchy system preference.
Actually you're not required to have this system preference enabled
if you just want to link authorities with other authorities.
It certainly helps to have in enabled, though, as you'll get
the nice hierarchical view of authorities in their Details page.

I ran a SELECT query on the SQL sample data for UNIMARC (provided
by koha-misc4dev) looking for records where the `authtrees` column
would be != NULL but couldn't find such a record. So, I guess
the answer is no.

> Apologies for such a basic question!
No worries, my test plan and the Bug Description did not include
all the information so your question is absolutely valid.
I apologise myself for the very late reply!
