[Koha] Field missing from MARC template

[Emily Morton-Owens]

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have worked. I got
together with the cataloger today and tried changing the settings as you
described (e.g. changed the visibility of 785 subfield t to 0 for both the
default and serials templates) but it doesn't seem to have any effect on 785
t being visible for new records or old records that we're trying to edit.
(The actual records use the default template but I tried changing the
serials template too, just in case.) When I go back to the screens where I
made the change, it displays as 0, so it *was* correctly saved. Could
something else be going on?
