  Target Milestone: ---

There are two ways you can update a child patron to a
Adult/Staff/Professional/Organisation patron category. These are using: 

* child-update.pl
* memberentry.pl

- Behaviour of child-update.pl:

Currently when you click on the 'Update child to adult patron' dropdown option
on the members/moremember.pl page the update-child.pl window appears. After
selecting and submitting that form the guarantorid value for the borrower is
set to 0. 

- Behaviour of memberentry.pl: 

When using the 'Edit' option which loads the memberentry.pl when you change the
borrowers category from Child to a Adult/Staff/Professional/Organisation
categorycode and then submit the guarantorid is not altered (not set to 0) and
is displayed on the patrons summary page as guarantor. 

What is the problem?

This is inconsistent behavior, memberentry.pl should set the guarantorid value
to 0 when you update the borrowers categorycode to an
Adult/Staff/Professional/Organisation patron categorycode, so it behaves the
same as child-update.pl

Currently Koha master does not allow adults to have a guarantor (until the
patches on Bug 12446 -
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12446) are pushed to
master, and so this bug letting non-child patron categories having a guarantor
should be fixed.
