Description Christian Stelzenmüller 2025-11-10 10:09:44 UTC
In the Batch item modification tool, deleting the content from individual item subfields doesn't work

The following steps were executed:
- Search for items that are populated with content from an individual 952 subfield (i. e. 952 $E) in the item search (an item search field for that subfield has been created, connected with an Authorized Value)
- Mark a few or all items from the result list
- Send them to Batch operations - Batch item modification
- Check the checkbox on the right of the individual subfield
- Save
- The job afterwards says, "No items modified"

The subfield in question is not mapped to any column in items and the data is stored in the more_subfiels_xml column.
