Hi Charles,
I wonder if it would not be the easier solution to make 242 searchable?
Are you using Zebra or Elasticsearch?
If there are other advantages of putting the information in 740 as well,
the "Build new field" feature might be what you are looking for:

Hope this helps,
Katrin

Hello, all!
A bit off topic from Koha, but here goes.
Our catalog has quite a few records that have translated title (242)
fields. Alas, while the translated titles display in the OPAC and the staff
cataloging module, they are not searchable. Through experimentation, I have
learned that by reproducing the 242 field into a 740 field, the translated
title will indeed be both displayable and searchable.
I don't think Koha can help with this, but maybe MarcEdit can. Does
anyone remember a video or document (PDF or DOC) about MarcEdit that allows
building a field from the elements of another field? Is it the swap utility
in MarcEdit
Many thanks.
