           Summary: Currently no way to correct a typo in an authority
                    controlled bib tag $a in Koha
           Product: Koha
           Version: rel_3_0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: MARC Authority data support

The current set-up/definition in the bib frameworks in Koha of the subfield a
of tags deemed under authority control prevent the user from being able to edit
any typos etc. that exist in the contents of the $a of these tags directly via
the editor. 

This is especially a problem where the library has not loaded any authorities
and had them linked to bibs nor have the syspref BiblioAddsAuthorities turned
on to create brief authorities. They have NO way of changing this info.

Suggestion is to add a syspref that will allow users to edit the contents of
the $a in these tags directly from the editor.

Caveat to be clearly explained to customer for short term - In the case where a
library has loaded authorities or created stubbies and have them linked to the
tag, they can/will need be directed to make the changes in the authority record
itself and have the changes reflect back into the bib otherwise they are in the
position where they will delink the authority from the bib. 

I will be adding another open enhancement request to make it more efficient to
access the edit authorities via the bib frameworks editor.
