This should be fixed now.

Yeah, I like the patches — also added some more "required" markup to the
houseboundvisit page now.  Looks a bit naff, but at least it's clear.

This is done.

Right, these are interesting questions.  Let's talk about HSBND_ROLE first.
I guess they could be implemented as a separate table or as extensions to the
borrowers table.  I don't consider either approach superior in this context
though.  The approach I have taken has the great benefit that it is working now
— and I'm not sure how much time I can still take to put into this feature.  So
I'd be tempted to keep it as is, unless there is a compelling case to change
it.

HSBND_FREQ is an authorised value because it will allow customers to specify
"distribution rotas" for their needs.  The field basically states, how often
does a visit for this profile take place?
This could take the shape of, for instance, once every week, once every month,
every other week, etc.  I.e. this is metadata about with what regularity a
profile is acted upon.

Individual visits are then organised according to that metadata.  The
individual dates associated with a visit should normally fall within the
pattern given by the HSBND_FREQ selected.

You should find that HSBND_ROLE appears when creating an individual
housebound_visit.  Any patrons tagged as chooser or deliverer will then appear
as values which can be selected in the chooser and deliverer dropdowns in the
edit/create visit screen.

HTH!
