[Koha-devel] TT notice question

[Renvoize, Martin]

It's probably context related.. perl and TT can be finicky.

.branchcode is a relation accessor as well as the column name so you may
need to call .branchcode.branchcode (ie the branchcode relation followed by
the same named column in the branches table branchcode.

Finally, your mixing <<>> and [%%] syntax. Whilst this does work, it's good
practice to switch as a whole.

As a last note, there's actually some TT helpers for this type of insert.

I'll dig out the docs for it and add a reply here when I'm not in my phone
;)
