https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32722 --- Comment #26 from Mathieu Saby <mathsabypro@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the analysis. All this seems very complicated... A few days ago, the board of the French Koha users' association discussed the subject: if this is the simplest and most realistic solution, we would agree to modify the UNIMARC framework to remove any "mandatory" flag on subfields belonging to non mandatory fields. In practice, mandatory subfields are not a very important feature for us, as most of our records are derived from external databases (national catalogue...). In that case the manual should be amended to make it clear that users should not try to define mandatory subfields if the field is not mandatory. But first we wanted to write a message on the international Koha list, as there are UNIMARC users outside France (maybe in Italy or Portugal?) and we wanted to get their opinion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
