    Problem Symptoms:
    * Cataloging ?freezes? when you attempt to create an authority from the Authority Validation screen from a bib record with vernacular data.

    If you are on Voyager 8.2.0 and believe you are experiencing this issue, open a Support Incident and reference Issue 16384-21345. If you are using Voyager 8.2.0 client build 1906, you have the fix for this issue.

    Additional Information

    Replication steps:
    1. In Cataloging, ensure Options > Preferences > Validation > Bypass Authority Control Validation is NOT checked.
    2. Import attached record (or find bib with paired 880 fields).
    3. Click Save to DB.
    4. Highlight one of the headings in the Authority Validation window.
    5. Click ?Create Auth? button.
