Obviously, we should respect other's work and efforts,
I fully agree.

------

I have all my customers-librarians reported and confirmed myself too,
that UX not improved, but degraded.

The goal of "bug 29815" was to autofill "today" just for some particular field
- probably only for "new item" and only for "Date Acquired".

But unintentionally it brought other things - probably it wasn't considered
that it autofill also:

- it will autofill all available item marc-fields with dates, to where plugin
attached? Some never should be "today", but various.

- it will autofill empty value  in editing, when the empty value should be
kept. More: it doesn't asks/warns and makes silent data modification when
operator edits one item other line, and never sees that something "changed"
(!).

- it works also for batch edit items (there "today" date not needed and even
makes inconvenience) - and for one library for us made thousands of items
mistakenly filled date, because operator get used not to "pre-clean" batch
fields.


This patch in bug 29815 makes those undesirable consequences.

and "pressing three dots on the right" in field where plugin attached always
fills "today" date if operator wants,

so I am to stay on request to remove this.
