--- Comment #32 from Michael Hafen <[email protected]> --- The patron entry form and the batch patron mod form are both for setting the value, which is a different circumstance from using a value as a filter in a patron search. For those entry forms having either the AV drop down or a free text input makes sense. For a patron search it's easier to use a drop down, where the librarian probably want's an exact match to a value used in the database. In the case of my libraries most of our patron information is controlled by LDAP, and the librarians aren't the ones entering the information in the LDAP Directory. So they have an idea what to look for, but stuff like capitalization, or whether first name or last name comes first, isn't known. Or remembering 40 to 90 values is a burden I would spare them from. Does that explain my use case? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
