https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42240 Bug ID: 42240 Summary: Allow removal of guarantor for adult patrons even if category disallows guarantors Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 25.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: greger.oberg@arjeplog.se QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle@bywatersolutions.com **Description:** Currently, if a patron belongs to a category that does not allow guarantors, it is not possible to remove an existing guarantor from the patron record. This creates a workflow issue: * Child patrons automatically become adults (e.g. via `update_patrons_category`) * The guarantor remains linked * Staff cannot remove the guarantor unless they temporarily change the patron back to a category that allows guarantors **Expected behavior:** It should always be possible to remove an existing guarantor, regardless of whether the patron's category allows guarantors. The category setting should: * Control whether a guarantor can be added * Not prevent removing an existing guarantor **Use case:** Libraries need to clean up guarantor relationships when patrons become adults, without using workarounds like changing categories. This behavior forces a workaround that risks incorrect patron categorization. **Impact:** * Improves usability and workflow * Reduces manual workaround steps * Improves data quality -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
