[Koha] Editing Marc Subfields

[Wagner, Jane]

I've been puzzling over that setting & authorities myself.  The manual FAQ you reference says " It sounds like you have to turn the BiblioAddsAuthorities system preference ON. When this preference is OFF it locks the 100 field so that you cannot type in it, just search for an authority to add."  But if you're creating a new title record from scratch (original cataloging) as opposed to importing it, you have to be able to enter values in the various fields that are under authority control.  How do you cope with that need, while still letting the system create the on-the-fly authority records?

These are the fields that you're requiring authority records for - and
you aren't using authorities (I assume since you have no results).
