http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4222 --- Comment #49 from Kyle M Hall <kyle@bywatersolutions.com> --- I completely agree. I think the best course of action is to have notes in the release that they will need to map the non-public note in each framework, then run misc/maintenance/touch_all_items.pl to pull the note into the db column. (In reply to David Cook from comment #48)
What do folks think about trying to resolve this issue in stages?
1) Add new non-public item note column to items and deleteditems
2) Add template stuff for the new column (even if the column is empty, which would be the default, this wouldn't change any default system behaviour)
That's it. The responsibility of updating frameworks and migrating data can be left up to Koha administrators. It's not ideal, but it would be progress.
Perhaps we could update the frameworks for a fresh install to show that's how things should go in the future, but I don't see an automatic way of fixing this for everyone and I don't think it makes sense to stop working on this because it can't be perfect.
P.S. If I understand koha2marclinks.pl correctly, it is a frightening script. On a test instance, it will say that "paidfor" is mapped to 952$x, but it's not really...or rather...it's mapped to 952$x for the FA framework but none of the others. That's incredibly misleading...
