Description Katrin Fischer 2019-11-22 09:14:18 UTC
I was looking for a description of a specific feature in Koha that allows automatic adding of some values (like dates) in records.

I've found in the manual:
https://koha-community.org/manual/19.05/en/html/administration.html#marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label

If you would like a field to fill in with today’s date you can use the YYYY MM DD syntax in the ‘Default value’. For example: a default of “Year:YYYY Month:MM Day:DD” (without quotes) will print as “Year:2015 Month:11 Day:30”

But I think the syntax has been updated to include << >> a longer while ago, so the documentation needs to be fixed and completed:
