https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32325 Bug ID: 32325 Summary: Valid 006/00 values should not depend on Type of Material selection Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrewfh@dubcolib.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl, nick@bywatersolutions.com Depends on: 32321 In the 006 control field, the value in position 00 sets the "form of material" ("language material," "notated music," etc). That value informs the type of material configuration ("Books," "Computer files," etc). For example, if the leader position 06 and the 006 position 00 are "m," then the material type should be "Computer files" and the other 006 positions and parts of the 008 should behave accordingly. (https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008c.html) In both the regular and advanced cataloging editors, Koha shows one both the 006 position 00 value *and* the material type. That's handy, but Koha makes the material type manually editable rather than derived from the position 00 value. In fact, Koha forces position 00 to only allow one to enter values that match what you've selected for material type. So to change the value in position 00, one must first change the type of material. Instead, one should be able to set 006/00 to any value allowed in the MARC specifications and that choice should set the Type of Material and thereby define how the rest of the 006 behaves.
