[Koha-bugs] [Bug 28633] Add a preferred_name field and an effective_name method to patrons

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28633 --- Comment #79 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- (In reply to Martin Renvoize from comment #78)

Something like `ORDER BY COALESCE(NULLIF(preferred_name, ''), first_name), last_name` you mean?

We'll still need to work out how to wrap that for the API...

Yes, because I think having it as a real database column might add some technical debt/more stuff to maintain. If we could avoid it with reasonable effort that might be nice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
