https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42777 Bug ID: 42777 Summary: Authority linker cron job removes punctuation Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: mnero@oslri.net QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl We have AutoLinkBiblios enabled, so when we save a bib record, the headings are automatically linked. When doing this, if there is a period at the end of a field being linked, the $9 appears after the period. We also have a cron job that runs once a week to run general authority linking on our system. During that process, if there is a period at the end of the field, it removes it when adding the $9. This is causing an issue with the same heading appearing with the period if it was linked upon saving and without the period if it was linked during the cron job. If the period is before a $2 (Fantasy fiction.$2lcgft for example), the cron job will change it to Fantasy fiction$2lcgft, removing the period. While this doesn't seem to affect access or indexing, it creates a problem when searching for specific strings in the fields or sorting exported information from any of those controlled fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
