https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28633 Bug ID: 28633 Summary: Add a preferred_name field and an effective_name method to patrons Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: nick@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Some institutions store legal names in their directories and for patron imports, but would also like to be able to record 'preferred' names in the patro records. It would be nice to have a field for preferred_name and a method to select the preferred name when it exists, and the firstname when it doesn't Following the item we would suggest 'effective_name' - the additional method can be used in patron-title.inc and in notices to simplify name choice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
