I think the visibility setting for the OPAC in the frameworks currently only
works for the MARC view. But you can use the table configuration to still hide
the column in the table. So it's possible and also makes sense to configure
this in both spots. I think it might make it more confusing actually if the
item table was both configured in frameworks and in the column settings. Harder
to find out what the issue might be if something doesn't show.

Showing or not showing a column that is empty is a little bit of a different
problem. We do this for some columns like OPAC note, but I think it was assumed
that the call number would usually be filled in or should be, so the column
should not be automatically hidden. If you want, we could change the bug
description to make it about hiding an empty callnumber column specifically?
