I suspect authority issues, (is the field grayed out?) You can edit all of your frameworks to "unlink" MARC fields to authority types, or if have acces to the database, you could execute: UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode = NULL WHERE authtype IS NOT NULL; A bit drastic but it will get rid of all links to authorities in the frameworks.

I have run into a snag editing a MARC biblio record using <http://koha-admin/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=xxx>. We unfortunately got the "Title" of the Author (Sir Max Aitken) (100$c) into 700$a as a co-author. I can add|correct 100$c without difficulty, but cannot in any way delete or modify 700$a - I can highlight it with the mouse, but the keyboard is totally unresponsive. Any suggestions warmly welcomed - thanks.
