1) Tiny typo + description: patron's preferred named
I am not sure where you are referring to
2) Patron search results
In patron search results I still see the "firstname" instead of the "preferred name".
Fixed
This seems a little confusing, as this is the only place now showing the firstname. On the other hand, if someone presents an ID and I want to search forthem, I will need to make the connection. Maybe we could display the preferred name additionally to the firstname somehow?
Preferred name is meant to be stronger than 'othernames' - it is how the patron wants to be addressed - I think in the case where there is a difference with an ID they will tell you which name to expect
3) Auto-complete for patrons
When I type "Cait" the entry doesn't show, only when I type "Katrin". But in the preview, it shows 'Cait' ... So there is a mismatch with what you need to type and what will show.
Martin fixed this
I am not sure how to resolve this, but maybe you have an idea or can explain reasoning?
As above, the idea is that a preferred name is intended to the name a patron wants to be called. It is the case where the patron is not using their first name, but may still legally have that name. If a patron is using a nickname, that would be 'othernames' -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
