Going forward if there are concerns with the original patch changing the behavior of one item form making it inconsistent with others in cataloguing and acq. Then I think, instead of a behavior change, it should be sufficient to add a hint saying that if you save the 952$d with nothing in it Koha will still auto-populate the 952$d with today's date. Perhaps this is the most straight forward solution?
I'm not sure I agree with this. I don't really see an issue with being context aware. Hints get missed with potentially far reaching consequences in the case of a batch edit. Logical, context aware behavior seems more user friendly. It makes sense to populate that field in the case of serials and new items, but not in the case of item edits. I don't really find that to be an inconsistent behavior.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Benjamin. I think it could be helpful to get Katrin's thoughts on the best approach because as Martin noted in comment #18 she failed QA the original 29815 patch as it doesn't affect all data entries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
