Hi Marcel, Thank you for having a look at this. I would say, this is just the cataloguers knowledge, common sense, and interpretation of the term "date entered on file". From https://loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008a.html: >>>>> 00-05 - Date entered on file Computer-generated, six-character numeric string that indicates the date the MARC record was created. Recorded in the pattern yymmdd. Pattern yymmdd is yy for the year, mm for the month, and dd for the day. The date entered on file in 008/00-05 is never changed. The date and time of latest transaction information in field 005 changes each time a transaction is made to the record. The latest transaction information enables an organization handling more than one version of a record to identify the most current version. The fill character (|) is not allowed in any of these positions. Field 008/00-05 is usually system generated. <<<<< The logic is: If you are creating a record in Koha with the function "Edit as new (duplicate)" it means, in fact, that you are creating a completely new record, with no connection to the original one, except that you want to use it as a template. Hence it should have the current date in 008/0-5 (and respectively 100 $a/0-7 in UNIMARC). Cataloguers I work with have asked for this since always and I put in in my installations, now sharing this with the community. NB the phrase "The date entered on file in 008/00-05 is never changed" from MARC 21 definition above should be, obviously, interpreted in respect to a specific record and not to all records that somebody has created being inspired by this record. This would have no sense, IMVHO. -- 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/
