OK, I understand the problem...
952 it the tab you use for ITEMS. So it's stored with items, NOT with
biblioitems. Thus, it's not transmitted to the correct function.
what's the solution ? the only one is to move itemtype from 952 to
something else.
Why is it coded like this ? it's an historical behaviour (from 1.2.x)
biblioitems is supposed to store infos common to some/many items, and
there can be more than one for a given biblio. It's something that
doesn't exist in MARC, who only has 2 different levels (biblio & item)
One sample :
* biblio =>
1- the 2 towers, from tolkien
* biblioitem =>
1- edited in 1957, by "greatbook edition".
2- edited in 2002, by "pocket edition".
* items =>
1- barcode 100001, biblioitem 2
2- barcode 100002, biblioitem 1
3- barcode 100003, biblioitem 2
HTH.
Note that an error should be reporter in checkmarc, i'll investigate why
it does not.
PS : i copy this mail to bugzilla and mark #516 as invalid.
