Description Liz Rea 2014-04-29 02:15:51 UTC
To replicate:

Create an order with "from a new record" with just a title.

Stage and import a record through "Stage MARC records for import"

Add both records to a list to be merged

Attempt to merge them, the resultant record should be blank at the end.


Caveats:

If you have a MARC Modification template that adds a 942c to the record, merging will work as expected - this only happens when both records lack a 942c. This also classifies as a workaround for this problem if it happens to plague you.

Hi Liz, do you know if this is still an issue?
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2023-07-15 19:07:12 UTC
We always leave 942$c empty and have never experienced an issue with merging records. In other words: I can't replicate or we are missing something here in the bug's description. I am closing WORKSFORME, but please reopen if you still see this issue.
