[Bug 43449] New: Restore multi-value export formatting for additional fields in datatables
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 02 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43449 Bug ID: 43449 Summary: Restore multi-value export formatting for additional fields in datatables Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff interface Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: martin.renvoize(a)openfifth.co.uk QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- When exporting a searchable, repeatable additional field to CSV/Excel from a Vue-rendered datatable, all values are concatenated into one cell with no separator (e.g. "Test 1Test2" instead of "Test 1, Test2"). Bug 41151 tried to fix this by rendering multi-value cells as newline-separated text for export, but that conflicted with the DataTables Buttons export sanitisation added for the CSV formula-injection fix (bug 37727), which strips newlines. That patch was reverted there - see comment 33 on bug 41151. At the time, correct handling of embedded newlines on export required datatables.net-buttons >= 3.2.0 (which introduced escapeExcelFormula) and a compatible datatables.net-vue3 >= 3.x (for DataTables 2.x/3.x support), while Koha's package.json was pinned to datatables.net-buttons ^2.3.4 and datatables.net-vue3 ^2.0.0. As of now, upstream npm has moved well past those thresholds: datatables.net-buttons is at 4.0.2, datatables.net-vue3 is at 3.0.8, and datatables.net core is at 3.0.3. Koha's package.json still pins the old versions, so the version blocker no longer applies, but the upgrade itself has not been attempted. This bug covers: 1. Upgrading datatables.net, datatables.net-buttons and datatables.net-vue3 to current major versions compatible with each other. 2. Auditing KohaTable.vue and any other Vue call sites for breaking changes introduced by those majors. 3. Re-implementing the export formatting half of the multi-value additional fields display (reverted in bug 41151) using the newer Buttons' native newline/escapeExcelFormula handling instead of the ad-hoc newline detection that was reverted. This is expected to be a substantial, standalone piece of work given how widely the Vue datatable component is used across the app (ERM, ILL, vendors, etc.), not a small follow-up patch. Test plan: N/A - no patch attached yet, this bug tracks the deferred scope described in bug 41151 comment 33/34/53. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 24807] New: Add "year" type to improve sorting by publication date

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24807 Bug ID: 24807 Summary: Add "year" type to improve sorting by publication date Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Searching - Elasticsearch Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: glasklas(a)gmail.com When sorting on date-of-publication (a year, field 008, positions 7-10), the current behavior when the field contains an invalid year (containing word characters like "uuuu" or just whitespace), these results appear first when sorting in descending order. Invalid values like these should really not be indexed at all. If so (having null values instead) they will always appear last when sorting, regardless of sort order. This fix adds a "year" search field type, that will reject any non-year values, resulting in a more user friendly sorting behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 36024] New: Cancellation requests for waiting holds - errors caused by duplicate requests
by bugzilla-daemon＠bugs.koha-community.org 02 Sep '26

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36024 Bug ID: 36024 Summary: Cancellation requests for waiting holds - errors caused by duplicate requests Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa(a)montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com The Koha OPAC prevents duplicate waiting hold cancellation requests at the interface level, but if a duplicate request is sent through the API (e.g. from a discovery layer), it is not prevented. This causes the cancellation request to display twice on the Holds With Cancellation Requests table on the staff interface. When the item is checked in, the cancellation request and checkin logic are (at least partially) processed, but the page displays a 500 error, which is confusing to staff and prevents any modals from displaying. To reproduce on KTD: 1. Circulation Rules: add a Default waiting hold cancellation policy of all / all / yes (i.e. cancellation allowed for all patron categories and item types) 2. System preferences: Enable RESTBasicAuth 3. Place a hold and check the item in to set the hold to Waiting 4. In a kshell, send an API hold cancellation request from the command line: curl -u koha:koha --request DELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/holds/1' --header "Content-type: application/json" --header "x-koha-override: cancellation-request-flow" (if the hold ID is not 1, change the hold ID at the end of the request path accordingly) 5. Repeat step 4 6. Go to the Holds Waiting page and view the Holds With Cancellation Requests tab --> Note that two identical cancellation requests appear for that hold 7. Check in the item --> Note the error message 8. Confirm that the item state has been modified: --> Hold is gone from the Holds Waiting page --> Hold is gone from the bib record --> Item shows as available on the bib record and last seen date has been updated --> If RecordLocalUseOnReturn is enabled, a local use entry has been added to the statistics table -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 22456] New: Customers Cancelling their Pending Holds

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22456 Bug ID: 22456 Summary: Customers Cancelling their Pending Holds Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 18.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard(a)myacpl.org Reporter: christofer.zorn(a)ajaxlibrary.ca QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- Good morning! I'm not sure if I should have piggybacked this off of the previous ticket, but I'd like to open the discussion on bug 18856 again. We'd like the ability to have patrons cancel their holds once they have been pulled by staff and are awaiting pick up. Our previous catalogue (Bibliocommons) allowed the cancellation of holds once it as captured. This feature was well like and used by our patrons who had determined they didn't need/want the item any longer. This gave the perception that they were freeing up the item for the next person. We have fielded a number of grumpy comments since our migration about the inability to perform this functionality. >From my perspective, if we're allowing patrons to place holds and cancel them before they're captured, we should offer the ability to cancel them up until they're picked up. At the very least, this should be a system option to allow the Library to choose whether they'd like to enable this functionality. Even if the implemented functionality is a placebo for the user ... offer them the ability to cancel the hold and have it remove from their account. As long as optically it appears they've cancelled the hold, there is no harm. If desired, a report could be run to allow staff to pull those items from the shelf if needed. I'm more than happy to elaborate if needed on this, but I feel that this is a feature that is currently missing from Koha that would be a boon to customer service.
