Also, if you choose “Use RDA workforms when creating new authority records” (under Options/RDA) the macro supplies the $e rda in the 040, but the fixed field “rules” is still coded as AACR2.

I have noticed this as well, and would welcome a fix.

Also if you attempt to run the macro to generate a preferred/uniform title from the 830 field, and the bib. record has 264(s), the macro responds with an error message and does not create the authority record.  You have to temporarily change the 264 to a 260 to get the macro to generate the authority record.

I have just noticed a problem with Connexion Authority Record macro regarding the new 264 field in bib records and the formatting of 670 fields in name authority records.

The problem is, when imprint data are in 264 fields, not 260 fields, 670 fields are generated by the Connexion macro without the publication date and punctuation:

Example (based on OCLC #816315998):

100 1 Reardon, Robert J.
670   Containing Iran ǂb t.p. (Robert J. Reardon)

When the imprint data in the bib record above are recorded in 260 field instead, the macro produces 670 field formatted correctly, as in:

100 1 Reardon, Robert J.
670   Containing Iran, 2012: ǂb t.p. (Robert J. Reardon)

Is there any way to fix this macro problem, rather than adding the publication date and punctuation in individual authority records?

Thank you,
