Not sure if it's possible to re-open a "resolved" bug (or even if mine is germane) having just looked at <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5677>.
We have some items that are showing up as "lost" despite having a correct "library" and "shelf location". e.g.: from OPAC: "Books NMA box_rr169 Reference REFE-UNKN-57 (<http://koha/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=12812&shelfbrowse_itemnumber=12807#shelfbrowser>Browse Shelf) Item lost" -- it's a book at the NMA, in box_rr169, [call# correct], LOST.
In the staff interface (same "lost" labeling), editing "item", the "lost status" is given as 5 but our "authorized values" are default and 5 does not exist.
I have edited the framework to attempt to be able to edit/modify this (952$1), but the drop down box "1 - Lost status" only appears for *new* items, and while the line is there, there is no dropdown to edit existing records.
Bug 5677 suggests that it was an OPAC problem, not showing in the staff interface -- whereas mine is showing in both.
Can anyone assist me, please?
As background, we are not a lending library, have no "patrons" in the Koha sense, and have never even tried to declare an item as "lost" which if I understand correctly is a management tool for unreturned books.
tnx - paul
my hunch is... its a different bug than 5677 perhaps you had a LOST auth_value with a value of 5, that was deleted... what would that have been....?
