[Koha] Age restriction no longer working?

[Sue McMillan]

Hmm, I've tried it again, and Koha will definitely stop issues if I use PG 13 in 521$a.  But it will not stop issues, as it used to do, when using FSK 13.

I did find this information here https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/systempreferences.html which does not have FSK listed any longer so maybe something has changed.

AgeRestrictionMarker

Asks: Restrict patrons with the following target audience values from checking out inappropriate materials: ___

Description:

•This preference defines certain keywords that will trigger Koha to restrict checkout based on age. These restrictions can be overridden by the AgeRestrictionOverride preference. Enter in this field a series of keywords separated by bar (|) with no spaces. For example PG|R|E|EC|Age| will look for PG followed by an age number, R folllowed by an age number, Age followed by an age number, and so on. These values can appear in any MARC field, but Library of Congress recommends the 521$a (Target Audience Note). Whatever field you decide to use you must map the word agerestriction in the biblioitems table to that field in the Koha to MARC Mapping. When cataloging you can enter values like PG 13 or E 10 in the 521$a and Koha will then notify circulation librarians that the material may not be recommended for the patron based on their age.

Important
You must map the word agerestriction in the biblioitems table to the MARC field where this information will appear via the Koha to MARC Mapping administration area.
