[Bug 42734] New: autoMemberNumValue syspref has no UI â add it to patrons preferences with a caution note
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42734 Bug ID: 42734 Summary: autoMemberNumValue syspref has no UI â add it to patrons preferences with a caution note Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: martin.renvoize@openfifth.co.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle@bywatersolutions.com Bug 34000 introduced autoMemberNumValue as an internal monotonic counter to prevent cardnumber re-issuance. However there is currently no way for staff to view or correct this value if it becomes inflated â for example, if a book barcode is accidentally scanned when creating a patron and that patron is subsequently deleted or has their cardnumber corrected. This patch adds autoMemberNumValue to the Patrons system preferences page (near autoMemberNum) so that superlibrarians can correct a runaway counter without contacting vendor support. The entry includes a caution note explaining: - that the value is managed automatically and should not normally be changed - that Koha always generates from max(counter, live_db_max), so lowering the counter only has effect once the patron responsible for the inflated number has been deleted or had their cardnumber corrected - the risk of setting it too low (potential cardnumber re-issuance) Test plan: 1. Apply patch 2. Go to Administration > System preferences > Patrons 3. Confirm autoMemberNumValue is visible immediately below the autoMemberNum preference 4. Confirm the caution note is displayed 5. With autoMemberNum enabled, create a patron without specifying a cardnumber and confirm the generated number is consistent with the counter value 6. Adjust autoMemberNumValue to a lower number (after ensuring no active patron holds a cardnumber in that range), create another patron, and confirm the next auto-generated number reflects the corrected counter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Testing notes (using KTD): 1. autoMemberNum set to "Do", and cardnumber removed from BorrowerMandatoryField. 2. Highest card number in KTD is 23529001223636 3. If you create a new patron and leave the card number field blank, the card number for that patron is 23529001223637 4. Create another patron, but this time "accidentally" put 39999000011418 in the card number field 5. Then for the next patron you create, the card number is 39999000011419 6. Edit the two patrons you created so that the card numbers are back in sequence (using 23529001223638 and 23529001223639) 7. For autoMemberNumValue system preference, enter 23529001223639 8. Create another patron (the third one), the auto-generated card number will now be back in sequence (that is, it will be 23529001223640) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
