Bug ID: 13727
Summary: Validation of authorized values
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Cataloging
Assignee: [email protected]

While automatically testing item creation, we added randomized alphanumeric
values to NOT_LOAN. When we attempted to add NOT_LOAN statuses to items, we
found that Koha did one of two things:
1) allowed us to set the status in the interface, but failed silently
2) allowed us to set the status, but added only part of the value
REPLICATION:
Type one:
1) create a new authorized value for category NOT_LOAN
2) add a value (value: "abc1de", description: "new1", OPAC description: "New
1")
3) create new item
4) set Not for loan to "New 1"
Result: Item's "Not for loan" status is ""
Type two:
1) create a new authorized value for category NOT_LOAN
2) add a value (value: "12abce", description: "new2", OPAC description: "New
2")
3) create new item
4) set Not for loan to "New 2"
Result: Item's "Not for loan" status is 12
We notice that the documentation clearly states that the values of NOT_LOAN
must not be alphabetical
http://manual.koha-community.org/3.18/en/basicparams.html#notforloan however,
we would argue that the ability to set values opens for an expectation that
they should be usable.
In terms of a fix, it is possible to add a validation pattern to the authorized
value at creation time; which is then stored in the table with the value and
can be used to validate entry via the jQuery validation plugin and a html5
data-field.
