It should do. I've had mine set to ON for a while now (as I'm learning as a I go and haven't got around to working out what an completed Authority actually looks like) and they seem to come in fine. Although interestingly last night (after upgrading to 3.0.2) I did notice that I needed to turn the variable OFF before it created variables on fly. ramon On 29/09/2009, at 2:54 AM, Roche III, Edward wrote:
So if this pref. is on will the import still work correctly?

I've been puzzling over that setting & authorities myself. The manual FAQ you reference says " It sounds like you have to turn the BiblioAddsAuthorities system preference ON. When this preference is OFF it locks the 100 field so that you cannot type in it, just search for an authority to add." But if you're creating a new title record from scratch (original cataloging) as opposed to importing it, you have to be able to enter values in the various fields that are under authority control. How do you cope with that need, while still letting the system create the on-the-fly authority records?

These are the fields that you're requiring authority records for - and you aren't using authorities (I assume since you have no results). See this: http://koha.org/documentation/faq/why-cant-i-enter-a-value-in-the-100-field

Good Morning
It was brought to my attention this morning that if you try and manually enter a Marc record that certain subfields are grayed out. These fields have a link next to them to do a search but when you search it returns “no records found”. Is there a setting somewhere for this to work or is there a way to manually enter this data? If you do an import from say Library of Congress it imports the data fine.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
Thanks
