Description Donna 2024-07-29 18:27:30 UTC
When adding top level Edit catalog (Modify bibliographic/holdings data) (editcatalogue) permissions, the subpermission  Limit item modification to subfields defined in the SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedEditing preference  (edit_items_restricted) is automatically selected and should not be.  

Since that subpermission is intended to restrict cataloging, it is not a permission that top level users would need or want.  

Having that subpermission automatically checked causes a lot of "why can't I edit this".  

Preferable behavior would be to have that subpermission unchecked when the top level checkbox is selected.

This is impossible.
