how to add a new copy of a field when creating a biblio
Hi, Can anyone tell me how to add a second copy of a field when creating a new biblio? For example, when you want to enter both the 10 and 13 digit versions of the ISBN, you need to duplicate the 020 field. Or when you want to add additional subject headings, you need to duplicate the 650 field with all its subfields. How can you do that in koha? Also, I don't use most of the item fields on a regular basis, and would like to hide them to make creating items easier. I tried setting the 'hidden' attribute on those fields to 7 and 8, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Kim Auburn Public Library auburnpl@iowatelecom.net

In the MARC editor, if your framework has repeatable set for a tag, then there should be a little + symbol which you can click on which will duplicate that.

What version of Koha are you running? Chris

Hi Chris, Hi pals, I found a similar problem with Kim. I want to add additional subject headings (650) and had click on + sign next to the heading. Then a white box appeared and I type "a" on it. I re-checked it to see whether the field has been added up. But it results nothing. There is only one 650 field just like before. However I've tried out Koha interface on Liblime site and I found it was successfull to do the same. Click the + sign, then type "a" on the box. I saw 2 fields of 650. But why can't I find the same on my computer? I'm using Koha2.2.7 for Windows. Many thanks for your suggestions. Regards, Sis --------------------------------- Now that's room service!
