[Koha] Records not showing in OPAC and multiple biblionumbers

[Elaine Bradtke]

Need a clarification about the multiple biblio numbers.  Is this expected
behaviour when two or more records are combined? For example after
combining 18235 and 14922 will that biblio then have the number 18235 |
14922 ?
