https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24134 Bug ID: 24134 Summary: improve 008 framework flexibility (autogenerate date) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 18.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: philip.bertling@rbg.vic.gov.au QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl When creating a framework for a form type other than book, it does not seem possible to autogenerate the date correctly. The 00-05 ‘date entered on file’ in the 008 field, can almost be auto-filled by using the code <<YYYY>><<MM>><<DD>>. However it doesn’t quite work because the 008 field expects a 6 digit date [YYMMDD] – this code inserts an 8 digit date [YYYYMMDD]. e.g. <<YY>><<MM>><<DD>> b at |||p |||||00| eng d = entered on the date <<29>><<11>><<25>> This creates the following data in a record: <<YY>>1125 b at |||p |||||00| eng d Is it possible to make this date code work to insert a date comprising 6 digits? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
