You might want to consider, as a "labour saving possibility", editing a
copy of the "Fast Add Framework" (add/subtract the few fields that are
[ir]relevant to your needs) rather than attacking the default framework in
all its glory. In this manner, you can *probably* ignore the Koha to MARC
mapping which is designed as a shortcut to the full bibliographic framework.

So, I am not a Librarian but work as a sys admin for my company. We have
a small Company Library that is used to publish various technical
publications for our users to look through. We are looking to move to
Koha but I find I am struggling with the initial steps of trimming down
the MARC Framework. The list of fields I have been passed by our
Librarian is for only 18 or so fields. I am therefore finding cutting
down the default framework very laborious. I have looked to Import a cut
down version of the framework, from an amended export to CSV, but this
fails with "Error Importing the Framework". I was then hoping that there
is something on the SQL side I could do to amend the framework but this
has not exactly yielded any useful results. Is there anywhere I can check
for an error on the framework import? If not is there any guidance on
cutting a framework down to just the required fields?
I am also concerned that not every field we have in the proposed framework
would have a corresponding Koha to MARC mapping. Would this be required
or are these there for simplicity rather than a necessity?
