[Koha] Sporadic warning about 245 field not being filled in

[Jane Wagner]

I’ve verified the config on Kurt’s server and replicated the behavior.  I’ll
open a bug report on it unless someone knows the answer – I didn’t find a
bug that seemed relevant when I searched.

Is this a known bug (or are we just a little buggy ourselves)?  Every so
often – and I haven’t yet discerned a pattern – I import a record from OCLC,
do a little local editing, and click my save record button only to see a
warning message that reads:



Can't save this record because the following field aren't filled :



                * Field 245 is mandatory, at least one of its subfields must
be filled.



All these imported records already have valid titles in the 245, naturally;
and the only way around this seems to be to enter a blank space in one of
the yet unused subfields in the 245.  Doing that will allow me to save the
record.



If the imported record also already has something in the 245 $b, then I have
to enter a blank space in the $c or $h … whatever subfield hasn’t already
been used. Entering and deleting a blank space doesn’t work. Deleting the
record and re-importing it doesn’t make a difference.



We’re on Koha 3.01.00.061 on a Linux server hosted by PTFS, with Zebra
2.0.34



Just wondering,



Kurt
