Bug ID: 24869
Summary: When Marc Record uses brackets in the publication Year
the value is stored in the database as null
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Cataloging
Assignee: [email protected]

For multiple reasons are < or [ used in cataloging dates that are either
unknown or with a range.
These are three examples that do not work or get stored properly in Koha and
the database.
[19--]
<1981->
[1981]
Currently, if a publication year has the hard brackets or the hungry alligators
with a year, the date does not get stored in the database as a value, but it
stored as null.
It would be nice if Koha were to display the year regardless of the < or [ .
If a year is presented like this [19--], Koha should use the value of the year
with 1900 in the database, and in a case such as this <1981->, it should be
1981.
The database holds these values as NULL. When an item search in Koha is done
with a record with one of these values, the publication year will display as 0,
which is not helpful to a library when needing the publication date stored in
the Marc Record.
