[Koha] Wrong person listed in 245$c statement of responsibility after import

[Aida Djikic]

Hello all,

What could I be doing wrong when it comes to my attempt to import theses
and dissertations into Koha via MarcEdit? They were exported from an old
program not really meant for libraries and have been saved as an Excel
file. Some of these records would be treated as items in Koha, but in that
program they were duplicates distinguished by additional designation added
to the call numbers.

After some early issues I thought I had worked them out, and have focused
on cleaning up the data since so I can continue importing it. However,
recently I noticed that the persons listed in 245$c statement of
responsibility do not correspond to the person that should be there (the
author of the thesis).

I am wondering where I could have made a mistake in the import process that
could have resulted in such an error. These are the fields I ultimately
decided to use in Excel, with the help of Fred and Lauren (names in the
example redacted for privacy):

Should I only import records at first, then add items from within Koha?

In addition to the above issue, I have also noticed that the import doesn't
result in a record + an item in cases where I have two or more copies of a
thesis but it imports them as separate records. How can I make sure to
import multiple copies as items?

I was thinking about asking this at the next cataloging SIG but I am not
certain I would make it. Thank you in advance!
