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? Jane Wagner Library Systems Analyst PTFS Inc.

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
Ed
