Authority Merge Page Blank

(Koha 3.22 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - package installation)


Objective: Attempted to merge name authority A into name authority B.

Error: After choosing the reference authority, the merge page is blank with neither the source table nor destination table populated with data (see https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0ez3cmtrlr8xvd/AuthorityMergePageError.docx?dl=0). After clicking the Merge button anyway, the following error appears:

Software error:
Can't call method "data" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm line 1491.


After checking to see if the merge was successful, it was not, and the reference authority disappears from the authorities index.

Hi Katrin,

Yes, I think you are correct. Very similar experience as in bug 15358. Thank you for linking my bug with 15358. Looks like a larger problem than anticipated.
