@nsid
As I understand from you earlier postings
1. There is a catalog record with 5 subjects and 3 authors
2. You are modifying the above record
3. You only editing one subject. This means you did not touch 4 subjects and 3 authors
4. You recommend that: In validation process only the subject that is edited must be shown. Rest of 4 subjects+3 authors must not be shown. Whereas currently all 5 subjects +     3 authors are shown

Thank you Pedro

The problem is the following:



As you can see the system searches for Art, ignoring the subfields.

So your last record may have the subject "Art -- History", so you have to find this specific subject and then click on "keep the existing subject" button.

When I create the record, yes, the validation of the authorities is absolutely important and I will validate th subjects one by one.

But when I want to do a modification maybe it would be nice to have an extra option "Keep the existing subjects" automatically. But the the exact subjects! e.g. Art -- History

Thank you for this creative discussion.
