Bug Description

Evergreen 3.7

In the Import tab of the MARC Batch Import/Export the field for record source has a value filled in by default. It appears to just use the first value in the list. Records could easily get assigned an incorrect source if staff forget to change this to the actual record source.

Ideally this field should be blank and then staff can save values for it as part of their templates.

Record Source is currently blank by default in Load MARC Order Records, Create a New MARC Record, and Edit than Import (in Z39.50).

I agree, this should not have a default value. Also, I can't seem to import records without setting a bib source (it just freezes forever). I can't totally remember if that was possible in the dojo interface, but I do want to do that in cases where I export records to MarcEdit, do some cleanup, and want to overlay them without losing the bib source they had originally.

Dale from Equinox found this in the logs when I try to import records without a bib source:
ERROR: insert or update on table "queued_bib_record" violate
s foreign key constraint "queued_bib_record_bib_source_fkey"#012DETAIL: Key (bib_source)=(0) is not present in table "bib_source".

So, maybe as part of this ticket, this field could default to blank, *and* blank could be made a legitimate option for this form? I could also split this into a separate bug if it would be better to do so.
