Marty and Paul,<div><br></div><div>That seems a bit extreme. Very, even. I would suggest a better option would be to click the three dots next to your erroneous 700s, search for an authority (any authority... unfortunately you have to do a search before you can clear a link) and then click the "clear" hyperlink to remove the authority link. This will allow you to continue using authorities and remove the unwanted 700 fields. The reason you're unable to edit the 700$a is that you have BiblioAddsAuthorities set to "don't allow," but even if you set it to "allow," you'll still be unable to remove the data from subfield 700$9. See the manual for a little more information about this system preference: <a href="http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c19#AEN207">http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c19#AEN207</a></div>

You can edit all of your frameworks to
"unlink" MARC fields to authority types, or if have acces to the
database, you could execute:<div><br></div><div>UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode = NULL WHERE authtype IS NOT NULL;</div>
<div><br></div><div>A bit drastic but it will get rid of all links to authorities in the frameworks.</div><div><br></div>(With thanks to Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel)<br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 11/26/10, Paul <i><<a href="mailto:paul.a@aandc.org" target="_blank">paul.a@aandc.org</a>></i></b> wrote:<br>
