Dear all, I am continuing to have some challenges with Koha 3.12. Our librarians are facing some errors when they try to import Marc Records from z39.50 servers in Koha and save. Importing goes ok but when they click save Koha throws the error below. This behavior is not consistent. It happens with some books and does not happen with others. I tried searching and importing the Marc records for this books on Koha 3.8 and import and save works fine without an error. The error Koha throws is: Software error: Can't call method "data" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm line 273. Some of the books are: * The Political writings of St. Augustine * Calvin's Calvinism What should I be looking at to troubleshoot this problem.

The koha-error_log (I may have the punctuation wrong) file might contain more detail on the error. AuthoritiesMarc and it having worked for you on 3.8 makes me think it may be something subtle connected to authorities setup/linking, but it should give a nicer error than that if it was simply something like an author not listed in the authorities index. A fairly common problem importing from z39.50 servers is getting the encoding wrong (UTF-8 when it's really MARC8 or the other way around). It could even possibly be a bug, so searching bugs.koha-community.org would be a good idea.
