https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42553 --- Comment #1 from Martin Renvoize (ashimema) <martin.renvoize@openfifth.co.uk> --- Created attachment 198771 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=198771&action=edit Bug 42553: preferences.pl: Allow 'multiple_sortable' to use 'authval' source The 'choices' renderer in admin/preferences.pl already supports a dynamic 'authval' source: the YAML can say choices: authval source: SOMECATEGORY and the choices are populated from the named authorised value category at render time. The 'multiple_sortable' renderer (the SortableJS-backed drag-and-drop multi-select used by OPACAuthorIdentifiersAndInformation and ArticleRequestsSupportedFormats) had no equivalent — choices had to be hardcoded in the .pref YAML. This patch adds the same dispatcher to 'multiple_sortable' so prefs needing an ordered, picker-driven multi-select of authorised values can declare: multiple_sortable: authval source: PAYMENT_TYPE Behaviour for existing prefs (which pass a hash directly to 'multiple_sortable') is unchanged — the new branch only fires when the value is a scalar. Test plan: 1. Create a temporary system preference using the new pattern, e.g. by adding to admin/preferences/accounting.pref: - pref: TestSortableAV multiple_sortable: authval source: PAYMENT_TYPE and seeding INSERT INTO systempreferences with type='Free'. 2. Visit Administration > System preferences and find the pref. 3. Verify the widget renders as a sortable list of every value in the PAYMENT_TYPE authorised value category, with checkboxes and drag handles, matching the look of OPACAuthorIdentifiersAndInformation. 4. Pick two or three, reorder them, save. 5. Reload the page and verify the order and selection are preserved. 6. With 'source' omitted or 'multiple_sortable' set to a string other than 'authval', verify the page raises a clear error. 7. Existing prefs (OPACAuthorIdentifiersAndInformation, ArticleRequestsSupportedFormats) continue to render unchanged. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
