https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11299 --- Comment #64 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Hi Marcel,

In the editor we normally work with the authority popup. You completely go around that here, but I still need to undo the plugin assignments before I can really get your function working.

I didn't do that in my testing. I still could use the normal plugin with the link on $a IIRC. I know I didn't change the frameworks.

If I disconnect 600, you still assume that it is a personal name. But I may not want to work with your approach? If I enter an incorrect authid into $9, it accepts the name in $a and does not create an authority. But in another field (650), I see one is not accepted with an invalid authid, and another one with invalid authid is accepted. This is not stable.

To get short, I would recommend to remove the link button, move your function to a plugin and minimize the changes to existing code to get it working. In that way we can choose which plugin we want to use. It might provide evidence for being stable and making a transition.

I think you can't achieve the same functionality with a plugin, a button to check all fields at the same time and give you a summary report of the ones linked/unlinked. And you shouldn't have to choose - both should always be possible, manual (with search) and automatic linking. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
