For these libraries, making the notes available to the patron might be a problem. To fix this bug properly we would probably have to add a "public note" field. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Engard <nengard@gmail.com> --- The problem here is that patrons are allowed to leave notes and then they don't see the notes they leave.

The problem here is that patrons are allowed to leave notes and then they don't see the notes they leave.
I don't misunderstand what the bug is about, I just contend that it wouldn't be appropriate to simply make the notes information public without accommodating libraries who may have been using the notes field--via the staff client--for information which they don't want the patron to see. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
