I have a feeling I've asked about this before, but the answer doesn't seem
to come up when I look for it.
We have info in a 588a that I want to hide in the OPAC. I've tried
everything short of actually deleting the whole 588 tag in the MARC default
framework (deleting and then re-creating the subfield had no effect). It is
hidden in the editor, but it still displays in the OPAC. The information
comes in as part of the data that we are converting and uploading, and is
useful for the librarians, but possibly confusing to the general public.
Looking at bug 5858, it appears that the 588 was not included in the
default framework when we installed Koha. If it's a Tag/field that we
created, would that be a clue as to why it doesn't work as it should?
Would it help to export the data, delete the field, create a new one with
the settings we want in place and then re-import the data? We have a test
site I can run this through.
Or do I need to ask the IT wizard to poke around in the SQL to fix this?
