To reproduce: - Open the MARC structure for any bibliographic MARC framework - Go to 008 - FIXED-LENGTH DATA ELEMENTS--GENERAL INFORMATION and click on the tag editor - Attempt to change the BKS - Books subfield to MX - Mixed materials; save the record. - View the completed record and note that the material type is still showing as "Text".
Hi Laura, this is one of those MARC things: you need to make sure that LDR Pos. 6 is set correctly, it determines what material type will be selected for 008. See bug 19419 and and bug 30871 - maybe we need to add more hints?

Thanks, Katrin! It would definitely be helpful to have hints or more documentation available regarding this procedure.
