Hi Tasha,

at the moment it's not possible to specify which fields not to copy. But
there is a bug report requesting this functionality that you could
comment on:

*BugĀ 26071*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26071> -
Allow to configure fields not to be copied when using "Edit as new
(duplicate)" in cataloging

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Hello, I have not yet found the answer to this question.  We are still running 
21.05, but plan to upgrade soon (unsure to what release).

When duplicating a bibliographic record, is it possible to NOT duplicate a 
specific MARC field from the source record?

In particular, I'd like to avoid duplicating action notes that are in the 583 
field.  We use dated action notes, and we duplicate lots of records, and 
information in source records that is not applicable to target records is being 
saved to them by mistake.

Our use of the field is as follows:  583$a has a default value.  583$c uses the 
dateaccessioned.pl plugin to enable a date picker/calendar.

Is there a way to "block" certain fields from being duplicated?  Although we 
could train staff to delete that field with every duplication, I'd prefer to avoid human 
error and the additional keystrokes.

Thanks in advance for all ideas.  If a JavaScript/jQuery solution is possible, 
maybe that would work, but I'm not sure how to make it happen.
