https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23595 Bug ID: 23595 Summary: Patron duplicate detection logic mismatch between code and docs Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: theod@lib.auth.gr QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com All recent Koha docs indicate that "A duplicate patron is detected IF first AND last names match AND there is NO date of birth populated OR IF first name, last name AND date of birth fields are ALL populated." (quote from https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/patrons.html) This used to be true until Jul 2016. See: https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/commit/1c61729e840655bfea7123d0c826a0... After that commit, the logic that is described in the docs is no longer true. The newer code looks prettier (and simpler), but I liked the old 'logic'. More specifically, I would like to ALSO have a duplicate warning on firstname+lastname (and Initials maybe?) match, IF the dateofbirth is blank. If -for any reason- the community prefers to only check for firstname+lastname+dateofbirth, please consider updating the docs accordingly :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
