[Bug 28862] New: Add suffix to name field
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=28862 Bug ID: 28862 Summary: Add suffix to name field Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: rcoert@arlingtonva.us QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Requesting the addition to the name field for suffix entries (Jr., Sr. III, etc.). Ideally it would be a drop-down box that could be prepopulated (auth_value?) with common entries; allowing for cleaner data and easier account viewing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We now have middle name as an additional field, does that help any with that?
No, not really. Especially for users with long names. Example: Juan Carlos Rodriguez Gonzalez III If the suffix is added to the middle name, then notices would read Juan Carlos III Rodriguez Gonzalez. We also have the issue of non-standardized data, which could be fixed with a populated, drop-down menu. This would be useful for II vs. 2nd vs. Jr. or 3rd vs. III, depending on what the system's needs were. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

We're new to Koha and I was just searching our settings to see if this was turned off, but it looks like I've found my answer here, it's not an option. :( I would vote on this but I'm not seeing a way to do so. Bugzilla is still new to me, so maybe I'm missing something. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
