https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29370 Bug ID: 29370 Summary: Cannot add patron attributes to quick add or mandatory list Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: b.pastern4k@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com In version 20.11, the new modal window was introduced for selecting database columns for patron forms and other settings, but it removed the possibility to choose patron attributes as mandatory or quick add. How a library can add this attribute to the aforementioned preferences? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29370 --- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- Hi Bohdan, you can set patron attributes to mandatory from Administration > Patron attributes. There is a new checkbox for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29370 --- Comment #2 from Bohdan <b.pastern4k@gmail.com> --- Thanks. So it is only possible to set it as mandatory? Previously the attribute could be added to PatronQuickAdd without being a mandatory field. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

If the attribute is mandatory but libraries do not want patrons to be able to edit (Editable in OPAC not checked), Koha will return an error when someone tries to self-register. However, if Editable in OPAC is checked to avoid that error, patrons can continue to edit the information after registration. This could be avoided if attributes could be made mandatory for multiple patron categories instead of either all or one - that way, a library could choose every category except Self-registered. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

I suggest we could change this bug for adding the option to add patron attributes to the quick add form (which is not possible now without making it mandatory). And as this worked before, I am updating this to 'normal'. Then Sara, maybe you could file a separate bug about the self registration issue? I think that is a very valid point as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
