--- Comment #8 from Katrin Fischer <[email protected]> --- I am wondering if this could be confusing to users as we display the information from publicationyear/copyrightdate in quite a lot of places. We just recently looked into the logic here too: 1999- = 1999 1999-2009 = 1999 19xx (very common here) = NULL So the user will see the first "4 digits" as year when not looking at the detail page. While publicationyear is text in the database (used by UNIMARC), copyrightdate is a smallint(6) and can only store numeric values. I wonder if we want or are treating both fields the same currently and if we should be less restrictive for publicationyear? I'd love to get some more eyes on this - from the standard I think you are right. It's just the issue of display that worries me a little. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
