Description Jessie Zairo 2016-10-12 15:23:47 UTC
In the Advanced Cataloging Editor, when you add any data to the beginning of the 001 tag it types over the data already entered in the field. For example, adding the 'ocn' prefix to OCLC numbers in the advanced editor overwrites the first 3 digits of the OCLC number, causing you to reenter the data. In the basic editor you can enter data in the 001 without it overwriting an current data in the field.

This is odd and still valid. It also happens for 003. I wonder if this is because these are controlfields and not tied to a plugin like the others.

We encounter this problem in the Advanced Cataloging Editor when editing the 001.  When you add data anywhere within the 001 tag it replaces data that was already there leading to mistakes.  We have to always remember to use the Insert key in this field in order to not type over stuff.  It would be nice if we didn't have to do that because it would increase accuracy and save time.
