[Bug 37610] New: Authority indicators are not updated in the bibliographic records
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37610 Bug ID: 37610 Summary: Authority indicators are not updated in the bibliographic records Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 23.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: esther.melander@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl There may be a combination of system preferences that may impact this. In my testing scenario, AutoLinkBiblios, CatalogModuleRelink, LinkerKeepStale are set to Do. AuthorityMergeLimit is set to 50. To Replicate: 1. Find a bib record and add a random 655 genre so that only one bibliographic record will have the term. Take note of the indicators of the authority in the bibliographic record. 2. Add the authority genre term and take note of the indicators. 3. Link the authority in the bibliographic record. Take note whether the authority indicators match/don't match. 3. Open the authority editor and modify the indicators. Save it. 4. Refresh the bibliographic record and see the indicators have not updated to match the authority. 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

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.
