Good of you to raise this. I for one would also like to get a blank field when hitting the plus sign and an option of simply deleting a field - though I do know that for fields which are not mandatory - it is enough to leave it blank and it will 'disappear' on save which is how I've been working this thus far (but ideally I think one shouldn't have mandatory fields duplicatable in their framework - but that's just me again :) ) . ================================= Bernard Shiundu Strathmore University Library

Hi all,
I submitted a bug report: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2123 but I want to check with all of you to see what you expect the functionality of the plus sign in the cataloging module to be. Here's what my bug says:
"If I hit a plus on a field with a value in it it creates a dup of that field - I just want a blank field .. in particular when I hit a plus next to an authorized value because there is no way to erase the data and start fresh - I have to replace it with another authorized value."
Basically, I wanted to add another subject heading to a MARC record I was editing but when I hit the plus it duplicated the field and I wasn't able to alter the data in the field without picking another authorized subject heading - what if I didn't have an authorized heading for that field? For this reason I suggest that the field be blank when hitting a plus - or that we have the option of either duplicating or creating a blank new field.
