Bug ID: 11199
Summary: 008 value builder skips invalid characters and
collapses remaining data
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: 3.12
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Cataloging

This is a problem with imported records where the # character is present
instead of a blank (though it also seems to happen if there is any character
present that is not in the available lists).
It only happens if you open the 008 value builder to edit the field after the
record has been imported.
Here's an example of a problematic 008:
130515s2006####stka###gr#####000#0#eng#d
If I edit the record and open the 008 value builder, Koha
automatically changes it to:
130515s2006
It ignores all the # characters, and shifts everything over, thus changing
characters that were valid in their original position into invalid characters
(or incorrect characters, though valid) in their new positions. If a character
in a new position is invalid, Koha ignores it as well and collapses the data. .
.
Because the invalid characters are still there (though they are ignored)if you
try to edit the above 008 in the value builder, changes don't always end up
where you think you put them. The only way to be certain all positions are
entered correctly is to return to the MARC editing page, clear the contents of
the 008 and start over.
This is what it looks like after manually clearing the field and entering
the information:
131030s2006 stka gr 000 0 eng d
The # have all been turned into blanks.
