--- Comment #3 from Sara Brown <sbrown at bywatersolutions.com> ---
Making attributes mandatory through the attribute vs. BorrowerMandatoryField
can cause problems for libraries that allow self-registration since the
attribute settings don't distinguish between creating an account and the
ability to modify in the same way that
PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField and
PatronSelfModificationBorrowerUnwantedField do. 

If the attribute is mandatory but libraries do not want patrons to be able to
edit (Editable in OPAC not checked), Koha will return an error when someone
tries to self-register. However, if Editable in OPAC is checked to avoid that
error, patrons can continue to edit the information after registration.

This could be avoided if attributes could be made mandatory for multiple patron
categories instead of either all or one - that way, a library could choose
every category except Self-registered.
