https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29740 Bug ID: 29740 Summary: New Organization field Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Would suggest we add a new field to the patron record called "organization". Currently we are storing organization names in the surname field. This is inaccurate, and causes some issues between validation (maybe custom validation) and switching from a patron type record and an organization record, especially if anything was left in a first name field at the time. Having a separate organization field would also allow us to correctly record an organization name and a contact at that organization. There are ways around this currently, but typical databases usually include a separate field for an organization name. This would also allow us to more accurately identify organizations with a specific contact person and include lines like "c/o: Joe Smith" under the organization name in notifications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
