           Summary: patron duplicate message not checking required fields
          Severity: major
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: nengard at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: Patrons
           Product: Koha

I have firstname and surname as required fields when creating patron records. I
also have 22 patron records where one or both of those fields are empty.

If I create a new record and leave the firstname and surname fields empty I get
a message that this could be a duplicate and either I can edit the duplicate or
save the new record. If I click save it saves it without first or surname. If I
click edit the duplicate it brings up a record which appears to be the first
one in the database with neither a first nor surname.

Shouldn't the first check on saving a new record be a look at the two required
fields and an error message if they are empty? Instead, it's just matching on a
record where these are empty and allowing the record to be created.
