Description Esther Melander 2025-11-05 17:15:10 UTC
To replicate:

1. Find a bibliographic record and add a monthly subscription.
2. Receive a few issues.
3. View the bibliographic detail of the record and holdings table.

Notice the publication date is included with the enumeration generated from the numbering pattern in the holding table. The date is contained within parenthesis. 

4. Edit the item record and look at the 952$h. See the field does not have the publication date.
5. Go back to the holdings table and click on the subscription tab. See the subscription table has a column for publication date.
6. View the record in the OPAC. Notice the publication date in the enumeration column of the holdings table. Also notice the Subscriptions tab with the publication date.

The addition of the publication date in the holdings table enumeration column feels cluttered and repetitive. If the publication date is in the subscriptions tab, does it need to be in the holdings table as well? In addition, the insertion of the publication date in the column does not make it editable from the item form since it does not appear in the 952$h when editing (perhaps this is intentional?)

I propose removing the publication date from the holdings table or, at least, making it optional.
