What are you using for the main heading field in your local authority type? I think they cannot be doubled up with the normal ones and there might also be a hardcoded mapping of main heading MARC field to authority type in the code somewhere. Field marc created 697 I tested the creation of Subfields 197 $a 150 $a Did not link to any of the subfields (In reply to victor from comment #2) > > Field marc created > > 697 > > I tested the creation of Subfields > > 197 $a > > 150 $a > > Did not create links and links for any of the subfields This is a known issue in Koha, and I don't think it's a critical bug. I think it's arguably an enhancement. I think C4/Biblio.pm and C4/Heading/MARC21.pm need to be updated. Locally, I've added an authority type, but it required coding to do it. At some point, it would be a good idea for us to move out of hardcoding a lot of authority type logic and rely on configuration instead. |
