https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21465 Bug ID: 21465 Summary: Overlaying with Patron Imports cannot be done if user id and cardnumber are the same. Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 18.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: kelly@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org In the Koha version of 18.05 using the patron import tool, if a patron has the same userid and cardnumber, and a library attempts of overlaying an updated file on patron information into Koha, an error will occur. Test Plan 1. Create patron csv according to the download starter CSV in Koha. 2. Patrons were assigned a card number by the library and this card number was also used for their User ID. 3. Import the Patron CSV into Koha. 4. Adjust this same Patron CSV file adding/updating an address, adding/updating a field of data. 5. Use this new file to import into Koha 6 Choose to match on the cardnumber 7. Choose to overwrite the existing one with this file. 8. Koha will produce an error saying that the userid already in use by another patron. Different Scenario Do Steps 1-5 the same 6. Choose to match on the User Id 7. Choose to overwrite the existing one with this file. 8. Koha will do the overwrite correctly. Libraries do tend to give patrons a cardnumber and also use that as the patron's userid. It would appear that matching on the userid works, however, this should not work this way, it should be able to match on either and produce same results- a successful overlay. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
