I really like the idea of the arbitrary fields, but I am concerned about using the record level itemtype. This seems to assume that different itemtypes are used for different type of media. I am not sure this is how all libraries use itemtypes in Koha, some differentiate by loan types. But this is just a note, my main concern is about the missing flexibility for existing installations. If you are a long term user of Koha you would probably have to change all your itemtype codes in order to be able to make good use of the new feature. This feels quite problematic to me. I am not sure what's the best way to resolve this, some thoughts I had while reading through it: Instead of using a separate system preference, maybe allowing overwriting existing fields would be an option? Then you could use *ExportAdditionalFields with 942$c for the itemtype feature or even use another arbitrary field the library thinks is best suited. Or a little easier: allow defining the MARC subfield to use for the record type instead of hardcoding it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
