Hi to all. Is it possible to link field 200$b "General Material Designation" and 942$c "Koha [default] item type"? Theri context is the same, so I don't want to waste time. TIA a.f.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I think it's worth pointing out that "Koha item type" doesn't have to map to material type. Since item type is one of the few aspects of a record which can be used to control circulation policies many libraries choose to create their own item type categories which don't map directly to GMD.

Thanks for your reply. You are right: "koha item type" don't map material type, so if I want advanced searching work I have to make mandatory 200b that in unimarc is GMD. So I have to work on two field (I've read it's better to keep 942c mandatory), and I'm searching for a way to link the two field for choose GMD only one time: it's possible to link two Unimarc fields?
