[Koha] Editing a biblio record

[Marty]

Thanks Jared,

Thanks, I didn't know that, but for me clicking the 3 dots and then searching only results in "no results found" if I keep the search term that's automatically entered in "Main entry" or a 500 error if I leave it blank...
Probably something else wacky in my database...

Marty

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: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c19#AEN207

I suspect authority issues, (is the field grayed out?)

You can edit all of your frameworks to
"unlink" MARC fields to authority types, or if have acces to the
database, you could execute:
UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode = NULL WHERE authtype IS NOT NULL;

A bit drastic but it will get rid of all links to authorities in the frameworks.
(With thanks to Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel)

We are "experimenting" in preparation for importing some 16,000 *book* 

entries from Excel spreadsheets into Koha (Koha 3.00.06 on Ubuntu Server 
10.10) using MarcEdit.

I have run into a snag editing a MARC biblio record using 
<http://koha-admin/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=xxx>. 

We unfortunately got the "Title" of the Author (Sir Max Aitken) (100$c) 
into 700$a as a co-author.

I can add|correct 100$c without difficulty, but cannot in any way delete or 
modify 700$a - I can highlight it with the mouse, but the keyboard is 

totally unresponsive.

Any suggestions warmly welcomed - thanks.
Paul
