[Koha-devel] Question about an Acquisitions enhancement proposal

[Alex Buckley]

Hi Koha community,

I really enjoyed meeting many of you at KohaCon in Finland for the 
first-time in person!!

I have a question. We have a partner library who is interested in 
sponsoring an enhancement so they can change the quantity in order lines 
of open baskets.

Currently, if you click the 'Modify' link for an order line in an open 
basket and change the value in the Quantity text input a JavaScript 
popup appears telling you "You can't add a new item, please create a new 
order line" - see attached screenshot.

Looking at the code I can see that JavaScript popup is coming from 
https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/blob/1403fd847a66432efda2c8724f61bcc6e413cda9/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/acqui/neworderempty.tt#L144 


Before we go any further with starting work on making a bug report and 
writing this enhancement I wanted to check a few things with the 
community to make sure we start on the right track:

Q1) Is adding the ability to change the quantity of order lines in open 
baskets a bad idea?

Q2) Is there anything we should keep in mind?

Q3) Do you have any suggestions of how to approach writing this enhancement?

Any feedback, and suggestions, would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Alex
