--- Comment #7 from Myka Kennedy Stephens <mkstephens at lancasterseminary.edu> ---
Patch does not apply.

Here is the behavior I'm seeing in my test:

On master, without the patches from this bug applied:
1. Create a new serial subscription
2. Set the first publication date to a date in 2016
3. Set the subscription start date to a recent date in 2019
4. Set subscription length to 104 issues
** Also set frequency to weekly, numbering pattern to number beginning with
number 1
5. Test prediction pattern
** This results in a pattern that is for numbers 1-104 beginning with the date
of the first issue. The subscription start date is not included in the
predictions listed because it is beyond the 104 issues.
6. Apply patch
* Repeat steps 1-5
7. Test prediction pattern
** The results match the prediction pattern prior to applying the patch. When
you save the subscription, the issue expected is Issue No. 1 from 2016, not the
issue that corresponds with the subscription start date.

The expected/desired behavior is for Koha to start the prediction pattern based
on the subscription start date, listing the number of issues based on the
subscription length value. Koha will need to calculate the issue number based
on the numbering pattern and the first issue publication date. 

What is presently happening is the prediction pattern is based on the first
date of publication and length of subscription. This is a problem for libraries
that start a new subscription in the middle of a publication, need to predict
issues from the starting point of their subscription, and want to preserve the
first date of publication in Koha.
