https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20378 Bug ID: 20378 Summary: OPAC ID and password do not auto-generate for new patron Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 17.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: arm@hanover.ca QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com In ver 3.x when adding a new patron, Koha would insert auto generated ID (firstname dot lastname) and default password when the record was saved. In ver 17.11 these fields are no longer auto-populating. This means staff have to create a unique user ID, and correctly type a password, twice, before saving a new patron record, even if the patron does not want an OPAC login. We would like the auto-generate feature back, OR at least a system preference to allow it. We would also like Koha to pay attention to mandatory fields and not make ID & password mandatory if not required by preferences. Related to bug 19908 (password should not be mandatory) I am not sure if this is related to bug 20027 - not enough info there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
