[Bug 19890] New: authorised value branches is not visible from dropdown in Admin
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19890 Bug ID: 19890 Summary: authorised value branches is not visible from dropdown in Admin Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 16.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Keywords: Academy Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: hughr@brimbank.vic.gov.au QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org branches is an authorised value category in the database, but is not visible in the 'Show category' dropdown list in Administration - Authorised Values. This is confusing if a librarian tries to create an authorised value category called 'branches' because it will fail, since it already exists. It should appear in the authorised value category dropdown, though perhaps should not be editable from that screen, since branches should be created under Administration - Libraries and groups. Problem in 16.11, presumably in later versions too but I can't test that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

They are used to link a MARC subfield to a branchcode, itemtype or classification source. They are not proper authorised values (in the sense of the authorised_values table), but are needed to restrict the input. We could add them to the category dropdown list and remove the ability to add value to them (display a friendly message instead to explain the situation). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

That way it's clear they already exist, and also that authorised_values is not the place to change them. Something like "[category name] is listed here for information only. To change or add values for [category name] use [appropriate place]. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19890 --- Comment #3 from Jonathan Druart <jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org> --- I have just tried: If you try to create a AV category "branches", there is a warning box with "The authorized value category 'branches', 'itemtypes' and 'cn_source' are used internally by Koha and are not valid." That seems enough to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

That seems enough to me.
I agree, this seems like the message the bug report asks for. Setting to Resolved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
