From Danny's Discussion post:

Sometimes when I add a new book chapter and autofill details from a DOI it asks me if I want to "Recursively update ISBN(s) for contained/container works?" and sometimes I click yes and sometimes I click no because:

1) I don't care about ISBNs either way and
2) I have no clue what it is asking me about

My best guess is that it's asking if it wants me to change the larger work's ISBN to whatever just got automatically entered as the ISBN of the chapter. If that's what it's saying then maybe it should say something like "Change ISBN(s) for the following works to match this work's ISBN(s)?" and then list the works it's going to change.

    The confirmation popup now has clearer text and lists the works whose ISBNs will be changed, and you can select which works you want to be updated. This change will be in version 1.28.
