They can create a list, add records to it, and select two records to merge without a problem, but when they get to the Merge Reference screen and click Next, they get logged out of koha and put back to the Login screen with an error. When logging back in, they get the error message "an unexpected number of records was provided for merging. Currently only two records at a time can be merged." They have only selected two records for merging but they still receive this message. We have tested this in 3.8 and master and in Chrome, Firefox and IE. It actually works in IE, but doesn't in FF or Chrome (the browsers we tell people to use for the staff client). It turns out this happens to users who have edit catalog and edit items permission but not fast cataloging permissions. You shouldn't need fast cataloging permissions to merge items, all it should require is edit catalog and edit items. Also, the error message is misleading since it's a permissions issue and not an issue with the number of items you're merging. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
