Not sure about this change. Seems like we want something from DataTables that it simply does not offer. Resulting code looks complexer than needed? Harder to maintain? We create an inconsistency here too. I can look for the coded values with homebranch, searching for CPL. But I can not look for an item type with BKS. If we would go for the descriptions that are shown, we should remove searching on the branch codes imo. This is a result of a join somewhere iiuc (not checked)?
Needs feedback.
The inconsistency you mentioned should be fixed. Will removing the ability to also search by a code really be a problem? If we can we should leave it. Searching by descriptions is very important to librarians but I know some still like to search on code. Why do you think it is so complex? It doesn't seem so bad to me. Do you have a simpler solution in mind? If so, great! But if not I don't think we should block this because it is too complex. This is a bad bug for many libraries and a fix is needed ASAP. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
