[Koha] Encoding and Character Sets in Koha

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Narcis,

if configured correctly Koha will not let you save the record without 
filling in a default value. If it only does fill the LDR if you click in 
the field, something is still not quite right in your configuration.

I suggest you try the behavior in one of the available demo databases 
and compare your framework configuration with the default.

You can also use the 'default' setting, but getting it to work the 
standard would be better I think.

Katrin
