Confirm that new patrons added from the spreadsheet by the file are added to the database with the correct category code. Confirm existing patrons that are overwritten receive the categorycode from the spreadsheet.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=35061 --- Comment #2 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- The GUI already allows to write-protect any field of the patron record. I think this would be much more consistent and useful, if we had a parameter instead that allowed to pass a list of borrowers fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I still think this to be true as we'd want to match the script as closely to what the GUI can as possible. Also we already have the "default" option that takes a list of fields. It would be more consistent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I had originally posted this comment and now looking at the patch again I spotted this: 'pf|preserve-field=s' => \@preserve_fields, Is it possible the feature is already present and this patch no longer needed? =item B<-k|--preserve-field> Prevent specified patron fields for existing patrons from being overwritten But: it doesn't show up when -h is used. Maybe this just requires a documentation fix after all. @Aleisha, could you have a look too, please? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The only thing worth noting from a usage point of view is that the script still depends on the spreadsheet to have a valid categorycode, even if we are preserving categorycode (using the existing patron's categorycode). If there is no categorycode value in the spreadsheet or it is invalid, this will be considered a missing critical value and the row will be skipped. Very happy to accept the preserve-fields option as a solution for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

This patch fixes the documentation so it matches the code: 'pf|preserve-field=s' => \@preserve_fields, =item B<-k|--preserve-field> Prevent specified patron fields for existing patrons from being overwritten So pf is the right shortcut.
