[Koha] Koha 18.11 - LC Authorities dataset upload - Free-floating subdivisions

[Craig Butosi]

Hi Katrin,

Thanks for your reply. Interestingly, when you navigate to a subdivision
authority record from the staff client, you can get to the MARC data just
fine. For example,

Subdivision: *Effect of logging on:*

Tab 0: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdlwh5o3ja7uzff/Subdiv1.PNG?dl=0
Tab 1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/13xc61qaypfo4fz/Subdiv2.PNG?dl=0
Tab 6: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ft0lhw8pd0en08z/Subdiv3.PNG?dl=0

Plack Error:

I have a smattering of the following error in the plack log file:
"Can't call method "authtypetext" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-authoritiesdetail.pl line 89."
which seems to coincide with attempting to click the "Details" button on
the authorities list from the OPAC.

I wonder if this error occurs because there is no defined authority type
for free-floating subdivisions?

All best,
