--- Comment #25 from Matthias Meusburger <matthias.meusburger at biblibre.com> ---
Why do you need two new prefs?

-> Maybe one would have been enough. On the other hand, with two sysprefs, you
can enable/disable the feature and keep your settings.

At first glance through code, I see a lot of testing on barcode and read about
tricky cookie handling: Could you please explain? If you do not want to copy
barcode, you should just not put it in the prefill? 

-> I'm not sure I understand... The code about barcode is for barcode
autoincrement management.

How exactly do you use this new cookie?

-> The cookie is used to store the values to prefill. The tricky part is only
because, when you send a cookie, you don't get to read its value right away.
You have to wait for a refresh. Is this clear or does it need more
explanations?

Is the commit message outdated?

-> Why would you say that?

Since we also have default values in framework, we have Add & Duplicate, what
exacly make this feature so needed?

-> This feature keeps track of what to prefill from one session to another
(both in time and user: if the user disconnects and reconnects, the values are
still prefilled. If a user disconnects and another user logs in, the values are
still prefilled.). Add & Duplicate does not.
