Created attachment 40131 [details] [review] Bug 14376: Allow the librarian to choose a patron when entering a purchase suggestion.
Sometimes librarians are creating purchase suggestions that came from patrons which didn't use the opac (but sent an email, or told the librarian verbally...)
This patch allows the librarian to change the creator of the purchase suggestion when entering it.
The fact that "Suggestion creation" was pre-filled and not editable, served an important function. It created a de-facto audit trail and helped maintain accountability. By making it editable, this patch is taking that function away, without something to replace it. So I disagree with this patch in its present shape. This bug does have merit though and does address a valid concern. My observations: 1/ Needs additional column in 'suggestions' say 'source' (i.e. of suggestion) with options - 'OPAC|STAFF CLIENT|EMAIL|PHONE|LETTER|OTHER' 2/ Keep the field locked with pre-filled values (current behaviour) with say a check box to edit/change it 3/ Log the edit.
