http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1106 Summary: MARC 21 008 record editor plugin deletes first six 008 positions Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: MARC AssignedTo: paul.poulain@free.fr ReportedBy: koha@alinto.com QAContact: koha-bugs@nongnu.org 1. BUG. Under some circumstances, using the MARC 21 008 plugin deletes the first six 008 positions. In consequence of the deletion of the first six positions, all other values are shifted six positions to the left. I have observed that this occurs at least when the first six positions for 008 are blank and other positions have values upon opening the plugin, but have not tested what other conditions may trigger this bug. Maybe it was triggered in all conditions and I was working too quickly to notice. The first six positions for 008 are for date entered on file and should be in the form of yymmdd, the record creation date. The first six positions are often left blank form some copy cataloguing sources. The plugin indicates that they will be filled automatically. 2. CONSEQUENCE. Values which are not in the correct position for a fixed field such as 008 cannot be read. Some 008 positions are required for even minimal level records. 3. WORKAROUND. Avoiding the use of the 008 plugin does avoid the manifestation of the bug. Editing fixed fields in a record editor without at the very least position guidance for the current cursor position is a big problem. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
