Created attachment 116183 [details] Self-created MARC-framework For the purpose of fast manual cataloging, I created a small MARC-framework, containing only a few important fields. (see attachment) Using this framework for cataloging (creating new records) all content containing german special characters (i.e. äöüÄÖÜß) will be deleted or somehow changed. If the same record is beeing imported via the Z39.50-interface, the german special characters are accepted.
Usually this is a configuration issue. The LDR contains a position declaring the encoding of the record. If that is missing, things will go terribly wrong, like you describe. It's LDR Pos. 9 - it needs to be set to a. https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html Maybe the default value in the framework doesn't work quite right. Please note: Fields that are deleted from the framework will be lost in records imported from external sources once they are saved for the first time. Koha will delete all fields/subfields not declared in the framework. For this reason it can make sense to only hide, not remove, the fields unneded.
Thank you for the hint. :-)
You are welcome :)
