We ran into a similar issue recently & learned some bad news: There's no way to do a batch edit of 952 subtags by importing on top of a record with an existing 952 field -- Koha will simply add an *additional* 952 (i.e., another item). My next thought was to clear out our entire database, edit our records as needed, & then re-populate the catalog. But even this is apparently not as easy as it sounds.

Dear all,
I need to batch edit existing various 952 subtags, but *not* 952p Barcode (which would corrupt circulation I presume).
I am not a Linux techie, and want to use the Tools feature, “MARC Import (managing batches)” but have been unsuccessful thus far.
We use a matching rule that matches against Koha biblio, 999c (my previous question to the newsgroup).
I’ve tried a variety of settings on the import, but always receive, “Number of items ignored because of duplicate barcode : 25”
FYI, on this occasion I’m trying to batch edit 952c Shelving location, to changed items from one shelf to another.
Thanks for comments,
Nelson
