https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17608 Bug ID: 17608 Summary: Fix behaviour of bulkmarcimport.pl -insert Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Command-line Utilities Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: magnus@libriotech.no QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: robin@catalyst.net.nz According to the POD in bulkmarcimport.pl: -insert if set, only insert when possible This works as expected for bibliographic records, if -insert is specified and a records already exists (based on the criteria specified by the -match option), the record is skipped and no record is inserted. But I do find the behaviour related to items a bit surprising. Even if the record is skipped and not inserted, any items attached to the record in the file that is being imported is attached to the matching record. I would expect items to be ignored if the record exists and is skipped. So the question is: is this behaviour a bug or a feature? Even if it is a bug, I guess we must assume that some libraries out there are relying on the current behaviour of bulkmarcimport.pl, so that the best way to get the behaviour I expect is to add another command line switch, to ignore items for matching records. This way existing users will not get nasty surprises and I will get the behaviour I expect. Opinions? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
