This is possible since bug 29781. Using capturing groups in a regex substitution, one can basically say "replace the current note with the current note plus these new words."

A very basic example, if one wanted to append the text "Disc cleaned 5-26-23" to all notes on a group of items, one could put "(.*)" in the Regex Pattern and "$1 Disc Cleaned 5-26-23" in the Regex Replacement in the item batch mod interface.

This might make a great addition for the manual. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

I'm glad appending is possible, and I've used it a few times. But it would be *so* wonderful if there were a checkbox that said "append?" and Koha would simply append if that was checked. It's a lot to ask my staff to learn even that amount of regex in order to append to notes when batch editing.

Would a checkbox like that be possible?

Seems like a reasonable enhancement, yeah! We could reopen this bug as a request for a dedicated tool/checkbox/option or you could file a new one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

If your batch of barcodes has a mix of some items with notes and some without then your batch mod will only append to the notes that already exist. This is probably not what the user is expecting when they are trying to append text to a field. It creates an extra step if you have to separately batch mod items that don't have a note. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
