Hi Koha community,

I really enjoyed meeting many of you at KohaCon in Finland for the first-time in person!!

I have a question. We have a partner library who is interested in sponsoring an enhancement so they can change the quantity in order lines of open baskets.

Currently, if you click the 'Modify' link for an order line in an open basket and change the value in the Quantity text input a JavaScript popup appears telling you "You can't add a new item, please create a new order line" - see attached screenshot.

Looking at the code I can see that JavaScript popup is coming from https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/1403fd847a66432efda2c8724f61bcc6e413cda9/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/neworderempty.tt#L144

Before we go any further with starting work on making a bug report and writing this enhancement I wanted to check a few things with the community to make sure we start on the right track:

Q1) Is adding the ability to change the quantity of order lines in open baskets a bad idea?

Q2) Is there anything we should keep in mind?

Q3) Do you have any suggestions of how to approach writing this enhancement?

Any feedback, and suggestions, would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Alex
