Hi David,
I've been working a bit on those enhancements bugs, here they are :
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36372 -> allow to set the record source from staff interface (helps to test the feature) https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36975 -> Change the record_source for a batch of records through BatchModificationTemplates https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36884 -> Use the record_source as a search criteria (may help to find all records from a given source)
Most of them don't have tests yet, I'm going to improve them.
Best,
Arthur

Hi.

The record source information will only show on a record's details page if the record has a record source recorded. If a record doesn't have a record source (which is the case for all existing records), then nothing will show
on the record's details page.

At the moment, it is not possible to add a record source to a record using
the staff interface.

A record source can only be added (as far as I can tell) by:
1. Using the API when importing records, OR
2. Developing your own plugin to use the new code, OR
3. Possibly by updating the database directly (I'm not sure on this point).

I'm not sure why you are being redirected when you try to access Koha
administration > Catalog > Record sources.

Does your use case for locking records match with the use case for this new feature? It may help the developers if you could describe your interest,
what you would like it to do.

Unless you are a Koha developer, then I don't think there is an easy way to
use this new feature yet.

As indicated in my initial response, this is a new feature and there are
bugs for more enhancements.

Dear David,

Good afternoon (here is good morning, it's 8:00 am Jordan time)

I appreciate your email.

Since I have super librarian privilege, I actually followed your email and tried very hard to locate the record source on a record's details page in the staff interface, but I was unable to find it so. Upon selecting Record source under Administration > Catalog > Record sources, I was directed to
the System Preferences page.

Thank you for your response and for your efforts.

Once again, thank you.

Note:
I upgraded Koha to 24.05.01
