Katrin,

Hi Jared, I might be wrong here, because I can't remember disagreeing with you. :)
But I think maybe I didn't explain it well before? If you leave the mapping empty (which yes, we did...) the value will be saved into the more_subfields_xml column in XML format. So after updating the mapping, the value will still be there, but you will not be able to access the information from the interface. So I was suggesting that there should be a way to copy that information into the new field or give at least a warning, that you might have to do so. So it's not only when people created a new column, but also when they were using the methods Koha provides to add additional subfields.
As far as I can tell, the situation is no worse after applying the patch than it was before applying the patch. Are you able to find a situation where the patch makes things worse than they already are?
I think it is worse, because now you have data stored, you can no longer edit or even access. It will stay in the more_subfields_xml column until you edit an item and at that point it will get deleted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
