[Koha] Field missing from MARC template

[Ian Walls]

Emily,


All the subfields in 785 are by default 'hidden'.  You can go into the
Default Framework, search for 785, click Subfields, then select any one of
the subfields to edit  The hidden value is under "display more
constraints".  It looks like the bulk of them are set to -6, which marks it
as hidden in the Editor, but not Collapsed if it's populated.

The guide to 'hidden' values can be found in the [?] help link in the upper
right corner, or right here:
hidden

   - allows you to select from 19 possible visibility conditions, 17 of
   which are implemented. They are the following:
      - -9 => Future use
      - -8 => Flag
      - -7 => OPAC !Intranet !Editor Collapsed
      - -6 => OPAC Intranet !Editor !Collapsed
      - -5 => OPAC Intranet !Editor Collapsed
      - -4 => OPAC !Intranet !Editor !Collapsed
      - -3 => OPAC !Intranet Editor Collapsed
      - -2 => OPAC !Intranet Editor !Collapsed
      - -1 => OPAC Intranet Editor Collapsed
      - 0 => OPAC Intranet Editor !Collapsed
      - 1 => !OPAC Intranet Editor Collapsed
      - 2 => !OPAC !Intranet Editor !Collapsed
      - 3 => !OPAC !Intranet Editor Collapsed
      - 4 => !OPAC Intranet Editor !Collapsed
      - 5 => !OPAC !Intranet !Editor Collapsed
      - 6 => !OPAC Intranet !Editor !Collapsed
      - 7 => !OPAC Intranet !Editor Collapsed
      - 8 => !OPAC !Intranet !Editor !Collapsed
      - 9 => Future use
   - ( ! means 'not visible' or in the case of Collapsed 'not Collapsed')

Setting it to 0 would be the most visible, but you can play with your other
options.

Hope this helps!
