This note appears to be tied to a serial status, so it would be nice if it disappeared when received. However, there is no way to customize the text of this note, nor the ability to control whether it should appear or not at all. One library would prefer the note field remain blank, even for late issues.
This is not quite true. It's tied to the serialsUpdate cron job and can be customized/configured there. I looked into it as we didn't want to set the note any longer, only the Late status. https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/main/misc/cron... --no-note Do not set a note on affected serial issues
The note box in serial receiving is also used as a free text box. But it is not made clear this note is a public note and will show in the OPAC. The only way to control the visibility of the note in the OPAC is to delete the note on receiving. There should be options on visibility here. Or perhaps it should not show at all and the 952$z should be the only public facing note field.
I once filed a bug that we should create another note field for serial issues, so we can have an internal and a public one. Not all libraries are creating serial items and they like to add things like + CD in the note field. I think there is a need for a public one too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
