Hi Mathieu,

these patches are for preventing data loss!

Problem TODAY  : If a librarian connected to library B is editing for example
the item call number of an item with homebranch library A he will not be able
to see the value location LOCA-1.
Saving the item record will result in data loss because the empty location
field in the item form overwrites the existing value LOCA-1.
