I think it makes perfect sense for it to be the new default. We have many libraries asking for the same thing. I'd even recommend some way for the libraries to choose which field the series is pulled from so that an update is possible. Nicole 2010/11/2 Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz>:
In 2008, the 440 MARC field was obsoleted[0], and 490$a is the equivalent. Default Koha installs (unless it was updated relatively recently) map 'seriestitle' to 440$a. I'm planning to update this to 490$a for a client's install, but was wondering: a) is this likely to make things blow up in unexpected ways?, and b) is this worth putting into the default Koha mapping so that new installs have it set up correctly?
For obvious reasons of not messing with peoples' data, adding this as a database update is probably a bad idea, but is there any issue with having it as the new default?
