--- Comment #1 from Phil Ringnalda <[email protected]> ---
Instead of a bug to have the advanced editor mimic an undocumented feature that
only happens because it's the easy way for the code to create the basic editor,
how about a bug to have the basic editor not cause undocumented dataloss?

The basic editor doesn't delete tags which are not in the framework. What it
does is create a form by looping through the tags in the framework, creating an
empty input for ones which don't exist in the record and a filled input for
ones which do exist in the record. It doesn't even know that it didn't include
all the tags that were in the record, since it only looks for "got anything for
364 subfield a?" rather than "got anything else I didn't ask about?" And then
when *you* save the record, *you* delete them.

Since the manual tells you not to edit the default framework, that plus the
misfeature of deleting things not in the framework means that if you follow the
instructions, and you import records from an external source, within six months
of the time you install Koha the default framework becomes a dataloss trap that
you have to somehow know to completely avoid.
