Adding a field to an existing record
We're using Koha version 3.16.04.000. Sometimes we want to edit a MARC record in Koha and add a field that is not already in the record - for example, a 910 field. The 910 field is listed in the framework set up for that record type, but when we go to the editing interface the field is not present. How can we make sure a field that is in a framework is available for editing? It's not a mandatory field, and we don't wish to make it one. There are various empty fields available, but this particular one is not. What controls the presence or absence of a particular field in Koha's record editing module? (I know we can add this field prior to importing it into the catalog. This is for those occasions when we want to add it after import.)

Hi Stacy, Try this: Go to More -> Administration -> MARC Bibliographic Framework Click MARC Structure next to the framework you'd like to edit Search for 910 in the "Search for Tag" box Click Subfields next to the 910 Click Edit next to subfield a (or whichever subfield you are wanting to show in the editor) Click "Advanced constraints" Tick the box for "editor" Click Save Cheers, Liz On 13/11/14 13:15, Stacy Pober wrote:
