--- Comment #9 from Pedro Amorim <[email protected]> ---
I'm on board with any of the proposed solutions. I just think that duplicating
any file to both staff and OPAC templates is a bad practice we've been
perpetuating for ever in Koha.
Duplicating files for both staff+OPAC where the files are an exact match or a
>95% overlap should be an option, sure, but not enforced. This is why I
mentioned bug 35716 but, again, I understand that it may be out of scope here.

This is how FreeForm has always worked. I understand this is not a vallid
excuse, but some functionality may actually make use of it e.g. openURL. Some
third-parties that link back to Koha using openURL may return additional
key:values that are not considered in the hardcoded form fields and this
information may be needed for reporting or something similar.
I'm not saying this is a huge blocker, I'm saying there's a use case where the
additional fields may be needed even though the user may never have the need to
use'em. Perhaps others.
