http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14895 Bug ID: 14895 Summary: We shouldn't be able to edit already added serials' items from serial receive/edit page Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Serials Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: j.kylmala@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: colin.campbell@ptfs-europe.com When you receive some serials you go to the serials/serials-edit.pl page. You change there the status to 'Arrived' and add a new item (if it has been chosen so in the subscription creation step). Now if after that someone goes and changes the status to, for example, 'Expected' then the system automatically overrides the item's info which is already in the system. This happens because the serial-edit.pl don't retrieve any information from the items which are already in the system. Well, I guess nobody will change an arrived item to expected usually, only in the cases when it has been a misclick or something. So the real problem is that if you just go to the serials-edit.pl page and don't change anything, and click save, the existing item will have some of its info deleted (barcode as one example). I have a patch for this problem (will add soon here). Instead of retrieving the already added items' data I choosed to disable the "ability" to change the already added items' info from serials-edit.pl (one can change item information from cataloguing -> something, if needed). I guess my explanation is not so clear, so I will provide you the steps how to reproduce this bug: 1. In serials create a new subscription with the option "create an item record when receiving this serial" selected. You can choose the other properties. 2. Find the newly created serial subscription by using the top bar's search. 3. Click from the 'Actions' drop-down menu 'Serial receive'. 4. Change the status to 'Arrived'. Add something to the barcode field. Save. 4.1 (Optional step) Open a new tab in your browser and go see that there is in the catalogue the item you just added and it has a barcode. 5. Now you should have arrived to the page serials-collection.pl. Here, select the very same serial item you just edited and click 'Edit serials' 6. Now click just save button without doing any changes. 7. Go to find that item from the biblio record. Notice its barcode is missing now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
