https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33445 Bug ID: 33445 Summary: Regression - Replacing authority via Z39.50 will not search for anything but the value from the existing authority Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: phil@chetcolibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl, martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com, thibaud.guillot@biblibre.com Depends on: 29173 There are two steps to cataloguing/z3950_auth_search.pl - load it without op=do_search and it inserts the value from any params that match a form field name into the form and displays the form, or load it with op=do_search, and it searches for the values from params that match form field names and displays the results. Bug 29173 implemented prefilling the form for the case where you are coming from an authority detail view rather than an authority editor by looking up the existing authority record, and inserting values from it into the variables holding the input params. It does that in both the first step (overwriting changes you've made in the editor) and also in the do_search step, overwriting what you put in the search form with the data from the existing stored authority record. Steps to reproduce: 1. Find and edit any existing corporate name, personal name, subject or uniform title authority which will have results from the Z39.50 server you're going to search. For a usable ktd data and Library of Congress Names server example, use Smith, Bessie, 1894-1937. 2. In the editor, note what's in the main entry field's subfield a (Smith, Bessie) 3. Replace subfield a's contents with something different, like your own name 4. Click "Replace record via Z39.50/SRU search" 5. Note that rather than what you put in, the form field is filled with what the record originally had 6. Replace it with your name again, this time in the search form, select the server to search, and click Search 7. Note that the results are for what was originally in the record, not what you put in the form There are two cases where that makes replace via Z39.50 unusable: when you need something different than the original, like after a change in heading or when your existing record passed through an encoding error and you need to turn Gâomez, Hâector Carlos into Gómez, Héctor Carlos, and cases where just the subfield a is not enough to distinguish, like searching for Smith, John when you want Smith, John, Jr., -1853 who appears on page 39 of the results. Oh, and any name for UNIMARC, since subfield a is only the surname. A very good start to fixing this would be to revert bug 29173 from 22.11, 22.05, and 21.11, since this feature is now broken back to oldoldstable.
