Problem Symptoms

If you want to copy the same tag to a new tag, instead of copying the tag into a separate tag, GDC creates 2 subfields in one tag.

Defect Status

Issue 16384-17297 is resolved for Voyager 8.2.1 and higher.

Replication steps

1. Create a Data Change Rule Set that has a
   1. Rule Condition Template of
      Condition: MARC Field/Subfield Exists / 
Field: 035/
      Indicator 1 and 2: */Subfield: a
   2. Rule Consequence Template of 
      Consequence: Copy MARC Field / Subfield/ 
      From field/subfield:/Field 035 Subfield: a / To new field/subfield: / Field 035 Subfield: a
2. Add the Change Rule Set to a Change Rule Set Group.
3. Submit a preview for this set on a bibliographic record that contains a 035a.
4. Look at the Preview records. Notice that the changed records have one 035 with two subfield a tags.

Workaround

Execute two data changes.

• The first to copy 035a to a new field/subfield (i.e., 935a).
• Then a second to copy 935a to a new 035a.
