EXT email: be mindful of links/attachments. Hi Tasha, at the moment it's not possible to specify which fields not to copy. But there is a bug report requesting this functionality that you could comment on: *Bug 26071* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26071> - Allow to configure fields not to be copied when using "Edit as new (duplicate)" in cataloging Hope this helps, Katrin On 03.01.24 16:06, Bales (US), Tasha R wrote: > Hello, I have not yet found the answer to this question.
