Description Dave 2020-03-19 13:04:53 UTC
I want the name of the creator and whoever modifies the catalogs in specific fields automatically.
So i changed the system switched the system preferences MarcFieldForCreatorId, MarcFieldForCreatorName, MarcFieldForModifierId, MarcFieldForModifierName, to the following fields 991 $ b, 991 $ c, 992 $ b and 992 $ c respectively. However, when I create a new catalog, field 992 is filled in instead of field 991, and when when I modify the catalog, field 992 is modified for the new data, deleting the old data.
I can manually create multiple 992 fields.

Someone having the same problem?

I think this is probably the same issue:
