Many authorities come in via z39.50 with blank indicators. In those instances, the corresponding authority in the bibliographic record will retain whatever indicators it currently has. If the authority is edited and the indicators are changed from blank to 150 #7, or some other combination of changes, the corresponding authority in the bibliographic record is not updated. I would expect editing the indicators of the authority will update the indicators of the authority in the bibliographic record. I would also expect linking an authority will update the authority in the bibliographic record to match the indicators in the authority record.
Authority records do control the indicators of linked bib records, but not like that. If you look at the spec for individual 1xx fields in https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad1xx3xx.html you'll see that the second indicator is undefined, except for 130 where it's the number of nonfiling characters. What controls the second indicator for subject thesaurus in 6xx fields in a bib record is the authority record's 008 field, position 11. Set that to z, and you'll get the second indicator in the bib record changed to 7. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
