            Bug ID: 40119
           Summary: Merge should not leave empty 6XX subfield $2 (MARC 21)
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: MARC Authority data support
          Assignee: [email protected]

Currently, when removing 040 $f from authority record with 008/11 = 'z' (MARC
21), merge function removes the content of $2 subfield in linked 6XX fields,
leaving the 6XX $2 subfield empty.  This is not correct.  We should not have
empty subfields in a MARC record.

Instead, the old content of the $2 subfield should be retained (if auth 008/11
is still = 'z').  

[It is perfectly correct in MARC 21 to have authority records with 008/11 = 'z'
and no 040 $f. In such a case, in the related biblio 6XX fields 2nd ind. should
be = '7', and '7' implies the presence of $2 subfield, which would be filled by
hand or by other means.]

To reproduce:
1. Have an authority record with 008/11 = 'z' and 040 $f = 'whatever'.
2. Link the record to a bibliographic 6XX.
3. Edit the authority record, removing 040 $f.
4. Go to bibliographic record and in modal "MARC preview" from Normal view
notice that 6XX $2 exists but is empty.

This is an error - there should be no empty subfield in the MARC record.
