Right now there is no way to have all fields expanded when defining a
framework.  

Please read the chat below since it explains things.  But I'm creating a
minimal framework and when editing the ISBN subfields I was the 020a to be
expanded on the framework and no matter what I put for the value in the
'hidden' field it remains hidden.

Attached is a screenshot of the entire framework - only a few fields and we
want them all expanded so we can easily tab through them and enter a quick
minimal record.


CHAT:

[14:58]  <nengard> hey guys - how do you set it so that a field is expanded
when in the marc editor
[14:58]  <nengard> i know it has something to do with the editing subfields in
the framework, but my edits didn't work
[15:14]  <atz> nengard: you mean so that the subfields display by default?
[15:14]  <nengard> yes
[15:21]  <atz> nengard: at the data level, i think you set
marc_subfield_structure.hidden = -1
[15:21]  <atz> to unhide the subfield
[15:21]  <nengard> atz - thanks! I was using 6 ... guess I wasn't reading it
right
[15:21]  <atz> i don't know how that's done via the interface, if at all
[15:22]  <nengard> i can put a -1 in the hidden field
[15:28]  <nengard> atz - that didn't work either - i'm wondering if it's a bug
- cause i know it used to work
[15:29]  <atz> nengard: no idea
[15:29]  <nengard> rch - any ideas?
[15:29]  <rch> nengard: i think an empty field may be collapsed by default now,
irrespective of the framework setting ?
[15:29]  <rch> i.e. it only shows if there's data?
[15:29]  <nengard> rch - no - the 245 is expanded
[15:29]  <rch> not sure on that though.
[15:30]  <nengard> and the 003 and the 008
[15:30]  <rch> ok, /me looks
[15:30]  <nengard> :)
[15:30]  <nengard> thanks
[15:36]  <rch> nengard: if there's no data in the field, it must be a mandatory
subfield or it will be collapsed.
[15:37]  <nengard> oh!
[15:37]  <nengard> thanks
[15:37]  <nengard> so the hidden field means nothing anymore?
[15:37]  <rch> once you uncollapse the tag, only the non-hidden fields show.
[15:38]  <rch> so hidden only has meaning if there is data in the field.
[15:38]  <rch> if there's no data in the field, collapsed is controlled by the
mandatory flag.
[15:38]  <nengard> k
[15:38]  <nengard> oh well
[15:38]  <nengard> :(
[15:40]  <rch> i think that warrants a bug report.  it breaks mouse-free
editing.
[15:41]  <nengard> awesome :)
