Editing a catalog entry

When I try to edit a catalog entry that I have pulled from another source, such Library of Congress, the system will not let me edit. It will not save any changes I make.

Is this normal? I just want to mark a volume as a hardback and mark that we have 2 copies. Will not save.

Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Where are you trying to edit your entry? The edit page for any work requires you to hit "save" to make your edits permanent.

On this random example of a work page in your catalogue, click "Edit your book" in the left-hand menu, make your edits, and then press the save button (there is one at the top of the page and one at the bottom).

That is exactly what I have done. Doesn't work. When I mouse over the save button it shows to be an active button, but when I click it, nada.

Then you need to make a bug report including as many details as possible (operating system, browser, URL of the book you were editing...).

>1 TheCollegium: This is the 2nd report of this I've had, the first reported (by email) weeks ago and I have not been able to de-bug it. So, having a 2nd instance of this (as annoying as it it) is a bit of reassurance. If you can post a bug report as >4 MarthaJeanne: mentions, please do include the details mentioned. That will be really helpful! Thanks.

thank you. But, how/where do I post a bug report?
