David Nind <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords|release-notes-needed | CC| |[email protected] Text to go in the| |This updates the default release notes| |UNIMARC bibliographic | |record framework to remove | |the mandatory flag from | |some subfields and fields. | | | |For UNIMARC, several | |subfields are only | |mandatory if the field is | |actually used (MARC21 does | |not have this requirement). | | | | | |A change made to the | |default framework by bug | |30373 in Koha 22.05 meant | |that if the mandatory | |subfield was empty, and the | |field itself was optional | |(not mandatory), you | |couldn't save the record. | | | |For example, if field 410 | |(Series) is used (this is | |an optional field), then | |subfield $t (Title) is | |required. However, the way | |the default framework was | |set up (subfield $t was | |marked as mandatory) you | |couldn't save the record - | |as subfield $t was | |mandatory, even though the | |410 is optional. | | | |As Koha | |is not currently able to | |manage both the UNIMARC and | |MARC21 requirements without | |significant changes, a | |practical decision was made | |to configure the otherwise | |mandatory subfields as not | |mandatory. | | | |Important | |note: This only affects NEW | |UNIMARC installations. | |Existing installations | |should edit their default | |UNIMARC framework to make | |these changes (although, it | |is likely that they have | |already done so). --- Comment #44 from David Nind <[email protected]> --- I've had a go at a release note. (I hope I got the example right.) Feel free to edit it, if I haven't correctly understood the change! (There are a lot of nuances here, but I tried not into too many details.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
