[Koha] Importing items problem

I'm not that familiar with MarcEdit to answer without experimentation. I'll
see if I can take a look at it over the weekend.

This weekend we are pulling network cable for the museum's new digital
archives. Librarians and archivists pulling and terminating network cables
should be quite amusing. Depending how well we do, I'll take a look at it
when I have a few moments.

What might help is setting up a Koha virtual machine and experimenting to
see how the data field swap works. That was my approach to test the
migration of my records from LibraryThing into our Koha ILS.
