Bug ID: 17608
Summary: Fix behaviour of bulkmarcimport.pl -insert
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low

According to the POD in bulkmarcimport.pl:
-insert
if set, only insert when possible
This works as expected for bibliographic records, if -insert is specified and a
records already exists (based on the criteria specified by the -match option),
the record is skipped and no record is inserted.
But I do find the behaviour related to items a bit surprising. Even if the
record is skipped and not inserted, any items attached to the record in the
file that is being imported is attached to the matching record. I would expect
items to be ignored if the record exists and is skipped.
So the question is: is this behaviour a bug or a feature?
Even if it is a bug, I guess we must assume that some libraries out there are
relying on the current behaviour of bulkmarcimport.pl, so that the best way to
get the behaviour I expect is to add another command line switch, to ignore
items for matching records. This way existing users will not get nasty
surprises and I will get the behaviour I expect.
Opinions?
