Moving this from bug 31422 where another issue was fixed to a new bug report:

The library limitations are used to limit down the selection in pull downs in
several spots. If you are editing data from library B while logged in at
library A, doing so might result in data loss as the value stored in the
modified object might be missing from the drop downs your user sees.

Example 1: Item values

Itemtype: BK Books - limited to Centerville
AV LOC: FIC Fiction - limited to Centerville
Your user: logged in for Centerville

* Edit an item and make sure it uses the itemtype Books and location Fiction.
* Switch library to any but Centerville.
* Edit item: Both item type and location drow downs will be empty.
* Saving now will empty out itemtype (if not set mandatory) and location
resulting in data loss.



I initially thought that bug 20256 might help here, but it won't as there is a
mismatch of one feature checking the login library and the other checking the
home library of the staff patron.
