Bug 37116 added the ability to edit linked serials when editing items. There is no way to turn this off and it has created some extra clicks and frustration for librarians who do not want the option.
Yes please! That would be great if we could have the choice.
We just noticed this today. Very annoying and causing a lot of questions from our member libraries. Please fix.
I actually think this is a good enhancement, however, I agree that it would be good to allow libraries to disable it and also to make it a staff permission option. At the library I work at we only permit select staff to edit serials records.
