We have found that using the Control-number:##### to be extremely slow and undependable. In our case, at least, this is definitely not a workable "solution" and is barely a solution at all. On 1:59 PM, Ian Bays wrote:
Hi Stefano, We have thought about this for some of our customer requirements but have (quickly) concluded that using the biblionumber (and biblioitemnumber) in koha is not the way to achieve this linking.
If you have a number that has significance to you and your data then put that into the 001 control number field (Marc21). You can link to that from 77x just as easily as with biblionumber.
If you try to use biblionumber for these links and you reload your data then all the numbers will be wrong.
The search for contents of the 001 field (say 12345) would be:
Control-number:12345
I hope this helps.

This is an autoreply :-) I wonder why nobody have had this problem before. How can be preserved internal links -contained in fields like 77x- without preserving the system number? I'll try to solve it hacking the code (C4::Biblio), but in my opinion Koha needs a way to do this, an option in bulkmarcimport for instance. Bye. Stefano

I'm trying to migrate about 140,000 records. Each of them has 001 with the original value. I copied it into 999c and 999d. Importing in Koha, 999c and 999d are replaced by a new (autoincremented) bibliotemnumber. How can I force Koha to assign bibliotemnumbers using 001 or 999c/d? Thank you.
