Disabling automatically generated links for related records if the associated NR is disabled.
Primo VE is capable to automatically create links to related records via MARC 7xx fields.
As these links where not working well for us, we were looking to turn them off with a NR, by setting “set pnx."display"."relation" to "N/A"” for 776 specifically.
Unfortunately, this turned out not to work in all cases. As Ex Libris explained this is because
- in the related records, they differentiate between child records and parent records
- for child records, as the specific relation field is included, Display NR takes effect
- for parent records, as the specific relation field is not included, and the opposite link is added automatically, Display NR cannot have any effect
This means we can only disable links from child to parent records but not the other way around. What we would like to see is that, if a relation from a child to a parent record is supressed, the automatically added opposite link should also be supressed.
