https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29398 Bug ID: 29398 Summary: Importing Authority Records without Renumbering Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cmkelleymls@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Problem: When authority records are import ("Stage MARC records for import"), each authority record is assigned a new record number instead of retaining its original record number as recorded in 001 $a. This links bibliographic records to the wrong authority records, and the only way to restore the original linkage is to manual change biblographic $9 with the new authority record 100 $a; or vice versa. So, for example, Clements, Samuel Langhorne old authority (before migration) #9742 new authority (after migration) #8665 100 1 $a Clements, Samuel Langhorne $e [author] $9 9742 245 10 $a Huckleberry Finn / $cMark Twain. ... The bib. record 100 $9 remains 9742 even though that authority record is now assigned to Shakespeare, William. When clicking on the link in the Huck Finn book, the link finds works by William Shakespeare instead. Enhancement request: Authority records 001 $a retain assigned 001 $a instead of being assigned a new authority record number. I have had limited success with building an authority record's 942 $c from the 100 $a, but a more comprehensive solution is in order. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
