|

<p>Bug 17232 updated some SQL queries used when adding new MARC bibliographic frameworks. When backported to 19.11.x, it referenced a column <code>important</code> that does not exist in the marc_tag_structure table or marc_subfield_structure table in 19.11.x. This patch removes the references to <code>important</code> so that adding new bibliographic frameworks works again.</p>
