Description Marcel de Rooy 2020-10-22 06:20:07 UTC
Open authority finder on say field 100 (author)
Click Create new authority
Click Z3950 search
Import a new authority
No way to choose this authority and put it in the 100 field

You are right, usually saving the record should redirect to the cataloguing editor and fill in the fields there. This appears to be broken when you create the record using Z39.50. I assume maybe we lose some variables with the extra step.

Was this temporary bustage while someone was trying to make it better?

On 20.11, I see the classic behavior, where you open a search popup, from that open an authority editor popup, from that open a z39.50 search, import your record, save your record, you are shown the details view of the record you just saved, close that popup, go back to the search popup and do a search that will find your new authority record, select it, it's inserted in the bib record.

On master, when I save the imported authority record, the authority editor popup closes, the search popup closes, and the new authority is inserted in the bib record.
