https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25221 Bug ID: 25221 Summary: Imported records are not checked for accuracy Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl When you create a new bib record, Koha checks if certain fields are filled out. When you import a bib record, Koha does not check if that record has those fields filled out. I would suggest that when a record is imported, it either needs to be taken immediately into editing so that Koha can catch issues, or it needs to be put into a quarantine state, and unusable anywhere in the system until it is edited and saved. When importing a bib for an order, since you are dealing with a single record, I could see how going straight into editing after importing could work. However, if you are importing bibs through an batch import tool, if the process isn't already checking for issues or missing fields, these items should be set in quarantine and require the cataloger to edit the record to remove it from quarantine. This process would address problems elsewhere in Koha where incomplete or compromised records cause an error in Koha or in a process that can't complete due to a faulty record. I'm not a cataloger, but this seems like a reasonable workflow for bringing outside records into your own system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
