            Bug ID: 42041
           Summary: CatalogModuleRelink disregards ConsiderHeadingUse
   Initiative type: ---

            status:
           Product: Koha
           Version: 25.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low

CatalogModuleRelink will link authorities that were previously linked
regardless if ConsiderHeadingUse is enabled or not. This is perhaps working as
it should. However, if a library decided they do want to enable
ConsiderHeadingUse in order to clean up inappropriately linked headings,
CatalogModuleRelink will interfere.

To replicate:
1. Check system preferences and ensure ConsiderHeadingUse is set to don't,
AutoLinkBiblios is set to do, CatalogModuleRelink is set to do.
2. Import an authority that is not currently in use, such as a subject
authority for $a Application software $xDevelopment.
3. Edit a bibliographic record and add a heading to match the authority.
4. Save.

See the authority links to the heading.

5. Change the system preference ConsiderHeadingUse to Do. Leave the remaining
system preferences as previously set.
6. Refresh the page for the bibliographic record. See the heading relinks to
the authority.
7. Delete the heading and save the record.
8. Edit the authority and change 008/15 to not appropriate.
9. Edit the bibliographic record and add the heading back and save.

See that the heading re-links to the authority because it was previously
linked.

10. Delete the heading in the bibliographic record and save.
11. Change the system preference CatalogModuleRelink to don't.
12. Edit the bibliographic record and add the heading back. Save.

See the heading does not relink/link because the authority says it is not
appropriate as a subject heading.

13. Edit the authority and update 008/15 to appropriate.
14. Edit the record and save.

See the heading now links.

From what I can see, Koha is working the way it should based on the system
preferences. Since CatalogModuleRelink might interfere with ConsiderHeadingUse,
what should happen in an existing catalog in regards to linking? Should the
recommendation be to disable CatalogModuleRelink when ConsiderHeadingUse is set
to do?
