MARC Batch Edit Fails to Set Edit Date

[Bill Erickson]

Evergreen 3.6

Batch updating records in the MARC Batch Edit interface does not result in an updated value for the affected bib record's edit_date field. The field should be updated to reflect the time of the batch update, assuming changes occurred.

A patch:

Hi Bill,

I tested the patch and the edit date/time updated but it did so for records regardless of if they were updated by the batch process.

My test was roughly as follows:

1) search for 'tolkien' and create a bucket from the four titles in the concerto data
2) do a batch add 505$a 'test me' - dates update
3) manually remove the 505 for one and do a replace of the 505$a and see that with the one removed it updated the date/time as well

Similarly if I have it do a replace for a tag that doesn't exist (a 799$a) in all the records, all the date/times update.

Removed pullrequest pending resolution to Rogan's comment.

Confirming still an issue in 3.9.1

When I batch add a subject heading to a bucket of records, the bibs' Last Edited Dates do not update. Therefore, when the nightly "Link Authorities to Recently Edited Bibs" script runs, it doesn't even look at those records and does not link them to the authority record for that heading.

I thought I'd grab this bug and Bill's code to have a look. This affects exports to our discovery layer.

I'm not getting to this right now, so I removed myself.

I may get back to it depending on our priorities here.
