[Koha] Incomplete LEADER when creating new child records

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi

Our library is working with Debian 11 and Koha 21.05.02.

When displaying a bibliographic record in the normal view of the staff 
client, the clicking "New > New child record" the LEADER will just 
contain the following: "␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣a␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣" (I have replaced the 
space character by ␣ to make it visible). It stays the same when we 
click into the field. So when we fill the rest of the required fields 
and save the record we will end up with a record that is not properly 
linked to the parent record.

This is irritating since when just creating a "normal" (non-child) new 
record, the LEADER is automatically filled with the correct content when 
clicking the field resp. trying to save the record. This happens through 
plugin "marc21_leader.pl".

However, when creating A new child record if we click the tag editor 
symbol at the far right, the popup "000- Leader" opens and we can click 
"OK" which will eventually result in the following LEADER content: 
"␣␣␣␣␣aaa␣a22␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣4500". This seems somehow cumbersome since we don't 
want to change anything there. It would be desirable if this content 
would just appear when clicking the field resp. trying to save the 
record as it does when just creating a "normal" (non-child) record.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Best wishes: Michael
