When one of our librarians sees a poor bib record, they want to replace it with a complete, correct record using Z39.50 search. it used to be that they would go to Edit-->Edit Record and then click the Z39.50 search to find a record and import it and save it over the poor existing record. However, this no longer works, the import does not import. I have told librarians to use the Edit--> Replace Record via Z39.50 (which works great). However, is there a way to fix the other method?
What version? Sounds like Bug 6959, but that patch has been pushed.
3.6 .... but not i'm off to test and confirm
Just tested on 3.6 and when I did the Z search that worked. I clicked import and didn't get an error, but the record from the Z target did not overwrite my record. Nicole
I tested on master and 3.6.1, in both versions the overlay worked correctly. 1) Searched for a record in my catalog 2) Edit > Edit record 3) Z39.50 search in cataloguing 4) Picked a new record with different title for import 5) Saved and got taken back to my updated record. Also checked the bibnumbers, looks all correct. Nicole, can you confirm if this is still a problem?
Found it!!! If you use the 'Import' link from the pop up menu it will create a new record. If you use the 'Import' ilnk at the end of the line it will do an overlay. You can see that comparing the urls - the pop up import link has a different biblionumber than the record where you started the search from. I am updating the severity - because accidently duplicating records like that is bad.
