https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36159 Bug ID: 36159 Summary: Patron imports record a change for non-text columns that are not in the import file Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Tools Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: nick@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org When importing patrons we assume a default of '' for borrower columns not supplied in the file. When saving we compare the new object we built to the one form the database - for columns are that are not text type we get undef from the db and '' in the object we make. This means we see a difference and log into the BorrowersLog: "date_renewed" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "dateofbirth" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "debarred" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "flags" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "gonenoaddress" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "lost" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "password_expiration_date" : { "after" : "", "before" : null }, "sms_provider_id" : { "after" : "", "before" : null } } This can mean a lot of useless logging in sites that do automated imports -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
