Patrons need to sign a waiver in order to check out garden tools. I've created a patron attribute that is tied to the YES_NO value category. The vast majority of patrons will not checkout garden tools so we'd like to have this attribute default to the NO field when staff are creating a new patron. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Hi Katrin,
Where this came up for us was we are in the process of starting a tool lending library at my public library. Patrons need to sign a waiver in order to check out garden tools. I've created a patron attribute that is tied to the YES_NO value category.
The vast majority of patrons will not checkout garden tools so we'd like to have this attribute default to the NO field when staff are creating a new patron.
This could be useful in lots of instances -- we are looking to do a newsletter opt-out, and it would be nice to have a pre-selected value for a new patron attribute. -- 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=22730 --- Comment #4 from Lisette Scheer <lisetteslatah@gmail.com> --- There is JQ in the library now that can do this: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library#Select_an_attribute_valu... The code I wrote only does it on creation so you don't accidentally edit it out back to default if you change it. Lisette -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

My use case is the same as Ron's, i.e. a library has parents sign waivers for kids to use the public computers. The patron attribute is "Computer allowed" and limited to kids accounts, with the authorized value YES_NO. The default would be NO until the parent signs the waiver. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

We have an attribute to record whether or not patrons have signed a hotspot use agreement. We'd like all patrons to default to "No." It'd be nice to accomplish this without jQuery. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
