https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23668 Bug ID: 23668 Summary: Information on syntax for patron attributes Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: anke.bruns@gwdg.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org In the manual at https://koha-community.org/manual//19.05/en/html/tools.html#patron-import-la... the syntax for multiple patron attributes which, to complicate things, consist of multiple words separated by blanks isn't described correctly. It says: <citation> "Note If loading patron attributes, the ‘patron_attributes’ field should contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values. The attribute type code and a colon should precede each value. For example: “INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs” This field must be wrapped in quotes if multiple values are defined. Since values can contain spaces, additional doubled-quotes may be required: “INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,””BASEBALL:White Sox”” " </citation> After trying this, and all other possible combinations of attributes and quotes I could come up with, I found that import only works if the attributes are entered in the most simple way, namely in single quotes. The blanks can be which, for the above example, would read: “INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,BASEBALL:White Sox” I didn't test exactly this combination of attributes, but with similar ones it worked. If this can be confirmed, maybe the manual can be updated accordingly? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
