itemcallnumber system preference in UNIMARC
Have recently added a second instance to my koha (v3.14) installation, this time in UNIMARC, and noticed the following: The pre-set (default) value for the itemcallnumber syspref is "082ab", and the example text is "Examples: Dewey: 082ab or 092ab; LOC: 050ab or 090ab; from the item record: 852hi". I was under the impression that the correct entry for a UNIMARC installation would be "676a" for Dewey, or something similar. Should the observation above be correct, then both the default value and the example text should be amended to reflect this in UNIMARC installations. As it regards the example text, I wonder however if MARC flavor selection during set-up can go beyond framework selection and default values; The text may have to be expanded to cover more flavours or warn the user that the example only stands for USMARC/MARC21. Please verify/correct my comment above, so that a bug note may be created if needed. Kind regards, Manos Petridis

Go ahead and file your bug. It would be straightforward for somebody to write an SQL script for use during installation that adjusts default system preference values for the English (or other language) UNIMARC frameworks, following the example used by the French UNIMARC frameworks.
