Liz Rea (CatalystIT) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #8 from Liz Rea (CatalystIT) <[email protected]> --- I have reservations about this patch which I cannot fully articulate, but it has to do with the behaviour of transfers and 9322 - I think it may be dangerous to fix this, in this way, while 9322 is still an issue. The only real solution I see to this particular problem, is finding a way to link a reserve specifically to it's associated transfer, and make it delete only transfers associated with the reserve that has been re-ordered/deleted/whatever and leave the explicit transfers (done through branchtransfers.pl) alone. The reason for this is that you could have a legitimate situation where an item is supposed to be going two places at the same time, or at least Koha is being told to send something to two places at the same time. Koha can probably not ever be smart enough to know which to prefer, an explicit transfer or a reserve generated transfer, which is why there are two prompts. The messages are certainly confusing - this bug has been a problem for years (I'm thinking specifically of issues reported by NEKLS, because that is where I have my experience with dual prompts). Certainly this is one way to fix the issue at hand in this bug, but I also think we need to think carefully about the design of explicit transfers and reserve generated transfers. Currently Koha doesn't differentiate between them, and bug 9322 is certainly muddying the water as to "when transfers are completed in *any* situation." Sorry to be so long winded, but I honestly think we really need to think about how to fix this in a way that makes sense for all transfers and not just reserve transfers. And more importantly, we need to think about how we can present the information that there are two kinds of transfers for an item, if that is the case, in a way that is not confusing to library staff.
