Is there a reason we need to have multiple status fields? I'm wondering why we don't consolidate the statuses to a single field that you can set multiple statuses on. Is it because each status has a timestamp?
Because an item can be checked out, lost and damaged, usage restricted at the same time. I believe having multiple status for separate things is indeed a strength of Koha, not a weakness. If we tried to simplify this we'd end up with a long list of possible status and would make things ultimately less flexible and more complicated. I believe changing it would tie our hands - keeping it gives us all the flexibility. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
