[Koha] Editing a biblio record

[Jared Camins-Esakov]

Marty and Paul,

That seems a bit extreme. Very, even. I would suggest a better option would
be to click the three dots next to your erroneous 700s, search for an
authority (any authority... unfortunately you have to do a search before you
can clear a link) and then click the "clear" hyperlink to remove the
authority link. This will allow you to continue using authorities and remove
the unwanted 700 fields. The reason you're unable to edit the 700$a is that
you have BiblioAddsAuthorities set to "don't allow," but even if you set it
to "allow," you'll still be unable to remove the data from subfield 700$9.
See the manual for a little more information about this system preference:

Regards,
Jared
