https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42903 Bug ID: 42903 Summary: Mixed-type authority merges should clear 1st indicator in linked bibliographic fields when appropriate Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: maxeinergl@gcc.edu QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Target Milestone: --- Some types of authority records (such as personal and corporate names) require a 1st indicator in the 1xx field and some (such as topical headings) don't. This 1st indicator is present in the bibliographic record also. When merging authority records of the first type into the second type, Koha is not correctly updating (clearing) the 1st indicator in linked bibliographic fields. For example, a sample merge might be a corporate authority being merged into/replaced by a geographic authority. 110 2_ $aSoviet Union... (1st indicator=2) > 151 __ $aSoviet Union... (1st indicator=blank) Before the merge, bibliographic records linked to the first heading had a subject field with a 1st indicator of 2. 610 20 $aSoviet Union... After the merge those bibliographic records are incorrectly updated to 651 20 $aSoviet Union... The 1st indicator of 2 is no longer correct because the new governing authority record (151 __ $aSoviet Union...) does not have a defined 1st indicator. The bibliographic record should have 651 _0 $aSoviet Union ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
