[Bug 41117] New: Patron category limited to other libraries message is confusing
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41117 Bug ID: 41117 Summary: Patron category limited to other libraries message is confusing Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 25.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: cbrannon@cdalibrary.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle@bywatersolutions.com There is a message that display when a patron with a patron category that is limited to a specific library is brought up at a library other than that library. For example, patron category X is limited to library A. When library B brings up this patron, they are presented with the message: The patron's current category (X) is limited to other libraries. [Change category] The patron is allowed to check out from other libraries, but this makes it appear that these other libraries are supposed to change the category. We have certain non-resident categories that are tied to automatic annual fees. Various libraries have various fees, which is why we assign specific non-resident categories to specific libraries. There is no need for them to change these categories, unless they are paying at a different library. Therefore, it is rather confusing and misleading for this message to come up. It would be helpful if we could suppress this message for any or all categories. I could see it as an option in the category setup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
