[Koha] Technical help with Frameworks

[Paul A]

You might want to consider, as a "labour saving possibility", editing a 
copy of the "Fast Add Framework" (add/subtract the few fields that are 
[ir]relevant to your needs) rather than attacking the default framework in 
all its glory. In this manner, you can *probably* ignore the Koha to MARC 
mapping which is designed as a shortcut to the full bibliographic framework.
