Hi Caroline thanks for your answer. Yes I confirm that itemtypes is present in the table "authorized_value_categories". This value has is_system = 1. John On 05/10/2020 15:47, Caroline Cyr-La-Rose wrote:
Hi John,
I looked in my db and noticed there was an entry "itemtypes" in the table "authorised_value_categories". Do you also have this? I'm not sure how item types as authorised values are managed since it is not a real authorised value category.

Hi
first of all let me say I'm completely new to Koha and am taking a look at it potentially to use in a school library. So thanks to all the people that have contributed to making the software what it is today.
It's been a bit of a learning curve. First off, I tried and abandoned the idea of installing on my existing Centos 8 server and took the easier path of using the packaged install on latest Ubuntu release on a new dedicated server, following this link:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
I did find an issue that stopped me installing mariadb due to incompatible versions, but mysql installed without problems.
Needing to use Italian, I did run into some issues in the provided sql which I had to tweak in order to get the install to correctly finish without violating not null constraints (on the 307 record in the marc_subfield_structure).
So now I've got an up and running installation which I'm trying out, but one thing which I cannot work out.
After adding a Unimarc record, I'm on the editor for adding items. There's a field 995 r "Type of item and material" (or in my version "Tipo della copia e materiale". This is a free input text field, not a drop down menu limited to a list of predefined values.
In the Italian translation this field did not have any "authorised_value" in the table marc_subfield_structure. I've modified with the value itemtypes. However for some reason this does not seem to make the field into a drop down menu in the staff GUI. So my question to more experienced users are: after changing the "authorised_value" do I need to run a script or restart something in order to get the free text field to change into a drop down menu?
Or is there a different way of doing that?
thanks for any help.
John
