[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] authorities question

[Yamil Suarez]

Mark,

I have done some testing of authorities in EG versions 2.1 and up, but  
it has been a while since I have done a test. I believe the first few  
times I tried to update linked headings in a bib it seemed like it was  
not updating the bib if I had left a tab open to the bib in question.  
(Maybe a caching issue?) That is until I used the "reset display"  
option from the "Actions from this record." Try that, if it applies to  
you, but  your milage might vary. I had an intern run several  
authorities linking and updating tests for us, and he found them to  
work as advertised at least for version 2.1 and up.

Good luck,
Yamil
