[Bug 39275] New: Merging records can destroy records if page has not fully loaded
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39275 Bug ID: 39275 Summary: Merging records can destroy records if page has not fully loaded Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl We just had a case where a lot of records where merged while the instance was slowed down significantly (crawlers) and the records ended up emptied out completely. As far as we can tell, this is what happened: * Select 2 records to merge from catalog or cataloguing search * Select "winner" record * On the next page, the second column with the "winner" is loaded a little after the rest of the page -> When you merge before it's loaded, the record is emptied out -> Wait until the page is fully loaded, the record will be ok. Maybe we could lock the "Merge records" button, until the page is fully loaded? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

But I've always worried that it would be willing to save a half-record, if the destination partly loads and then stalls. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The records were not particularly large, 25-40 items on each. When I merged them the MARC information was completely deleted but the item information was still there. It was easy enough to re-download the MARC record but caused a bit of panic for me at first. I will try to keep an eye on the page loading in future merges. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
