--- Comment #2 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
Actually I was not aware of the setting "ignore" having this effect. The known
thing is that you don't want to delete any field and subfield definitions as
that will cause data loss. That's not great, but we have some documentation and
warnings.

For the "ignore" tab, I always assumed this was only a display setting as it's
used to set the tab something is displayed on. So I think reading "Ignore"
there as "don't display" is to be expected from user side.

1) Can we determin if the "ignore" always had this effect? I believe I have set
"ignore" for some item fields in one of our oldest installations, but we never
noticed any misbehaviour.

2) If we think this is not only to affect display, we definitely need to add at
least a hint GUI wise. Maybe we should also add a list of "ignored" to the
Bibliographic framework check to help people verify.
