http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9468 --- Comment #5 from Kyle M Hall <kyle@bywatersolutions.com> --- I think giving patrons the freedom to type in anything will make it more complicated and confusing for some patrons. We could just add a new authorised value category instead. (In reply to comment #4)
Do we need to have the purchase suggestion form ask for the item type in the first place? Not all libraries use item types that double as material types -- for example, if your item types are 'NORMAL', 'SHORT', 'NO_LOAN', that's not going to be of much use to the patron.
So here's my counter-proposal: since suggestions.itemtype is a varchar(30) anyway, why not give it text input widgets instead of a drop-down list of item types, and maybe relabel it to make it clear that the library is asking for the preferred format (e.g., print, ebook, video, etc.).
