https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42018 Bug ID: 42018 Summary: Inconsistent behavior for null values for fields selected in PatronDuplicateMatchingAddFields Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 25.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: sbrown@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle@bywatersolutions.com PatronDuplicateMatchingAddFields behaves differently for null values depending on whether the null values are in the existing patron record or the record being created. To replicate: -Set PatronDuplicateMatchingAddFields to surname, firstname, email Scenario 1: -Create patron A with a first name and surname, but null email -Create patron B with a first name and surname matching patron A, but a value in email -----> NOT FLAGGED as duplicate Scenario 2: -Create patron A with a first name, surname, and email -Create patron B with a first name and surname matching patron A, but null email -----> FLAGGED as duplicate It seems that the two scenarios should behave the same way, or that there should be documentation of the different behavior in the manual. This applies to 40082 but is also true for duplicate matching in the staff interface. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
