[Koha] Editing Marc Subfields

[Ramon Andinach]

It should do.

I've had mine set to ON for a while now (as I'm learning as a I go and  
haven't got around to working out what an completed Authority actually  
looks like) and they seem to come in fine.

Although interestingly last night (after upgrading to 3.0.2) I did  
notice that I needed to turn the variable OFF before it created  
variables on fly.
