Description Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-09-09 12:52:16 UTC
Although fields in the authority editor should support thesaurus control, they should never be locked, as authority records commonly refer to other records that may not be in use locally (and therefore might not be in the authority file).

Now one can create heirarchies of geographical names inthe authority 551 $a field for example.  This was needed to support bug 8211 for expanded search functionaility.

QA comment:
 * tiny patch, template-only, no side-effect risk
 * passes koha-qa.pl
 * another use case = authority A is NT for authority B, that is BT for authority A. Which one we create first ? ;-)

passed QA
