[Bug 39683] New: suggestion.copyrightdate and suggestion.publicationyear
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39683 Bug ID: 39683 Summary: suggestion.copyrightdate and suggestion.publicationyear Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Database Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org The suggestions form in the user interface contains a field labeled "Copyright date." It gets saved in the database in suggestions.copyrightdate. The database also contains the field suggestions.publicationyear. As far as I can tell, there is no way in the staff interface or OPAC to put a value in this field (though if one were to get a value into it, that value would show on /cgi-bin/koha/suggestion/suggestion.pl). It would probably make sense to just remove suggestions.publicationyear from the database. But at the same time copyrightdate and publication date are really two distinct values .... I'm mostly filing this bug for the next person to stumbles into this hole and wonders what that field's about.

For historical reasons UNIMARC maps the publication year to publicationyear, while MARC21 has always been using copyrightdate. It's not easy to fix in existing databases where people can have changed the mappings, so we have a number of places in the code where we look at both dependent of the MARC flavor. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
