Hi Zahid.

From my limited knowledge, I think using setting up MARC overlay rules is what you would need to do.

Happy for anyone who has setup these types of rules to comment on whether this is the best way to do what you want. The ByWater Solutions Team has a nice clear video about setting up these rules (recorded for 21.11, so some things may have changed): see https://bywatersolutions.com/education/monday-minutes-protecting-marc-fields and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2xDi1K07Qg There is also a section in the manual about record overlay rules (I've linked to the latest version, there may be some differences with 22.11): https://koha-community.org/manual/23.05/en/html/administration.html#record-o... Without knowing exactly why you want to stop cataloguers from adding or modifying the 245 indicators and subfields (I'm assuming MARC21 here), such as you only want specific cataloguers to edit these subfields, there may be some other things to consider: - You can use permissions, so you can remove editing catalog records for staff users (Patrons > [patron account] > More > Set permissions > Edit catalog) - For your frameworks, you could change the visibility of subfields in the OPAC, staff interface, and editor (Administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic) (or remove them from the framework, but removing 245$a wouldn't make any sense) - There is probably a report you could create that would identify changes made to these subfields, and then take corrective action (education about your cataloguing standards, etc) (I'm not An SQL/Reports person) - If not enabled, you could enable the CataloguingLog system preference to record who has made changes, and monitor this David Nind New Zealand PS I've only sent my reply to the General Koha Mailing List.
