https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38317 Bug ID: 38317 Summary: Support hiding preferred_name from patron modification screen on OPAC but not staff client (or vice versa) Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa@montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Depends on: 28633 If preferred_name is hidden from either staff modification or patron self-modification, the firstname field will be copied into that field whenever edits to the patron are made from that screen. It's possible that a library may want to use the preferred_name field, but restrict editing either to patrons only or staff only for whatever reason. It would be nice to be able to hide preferred_name from one screen and not the other, without overwriting the preferred_name every time the patron account is edited from a screen where the field is hidden.
