In 21.11.05, it appears that framework defaults aren't working properly when adding records to a basket from an external source. To test: 1) Set the following framework/942$c defaults: ACQ/NEW, Default/BOOK, SR/MAG 2) Set UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords to "Use the framework 'ACQ' for bibliographic records fields" 3) Create a basket, and add to it 'From an external source' 4) Select the SR framework prior to searching via z39.50 5) Bring in your record, and view the bib - note that 942$c is blank 6) Repeat steps 3-5 with Default and ACQ frameworks selected - the result is the same. The same thing happens when steps 3-6 are repeated with UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords set to "Don't use". At least as recently as 20.05, selecting a specific framework in step 4 above would override the ACQ framework when UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords was set to "use".
Hi Sarah, I believe this might have been intentional as we didn't want to alter existing records automatically as it could overwrite information you didn't mean to overwrite in the first place. But there is a bug now for making this behavior configurable: Bug 30250 - Configure when to apply framework defaults when cataloguing That could maybe be a solution here too or maybe be a logical enhancement of it.
Thank you, Katrin! I'll comment there.
I believe this is resolved by 30250 now being pushed and available from 21.11.18. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 30250 ***
