Bug ID: 40873
Summary: AV dropdowns in OPAC don't use lib_opac values
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: OPAC

The OPAC version of av-build-dropbox.inc uses av.lib instead of av.lib_opac so
even if your AV category has OPAC-friendly text it is not used.
I discovered this specifically when using the SUGGEST_FORMAT item types for
purchase suggestions. I created the category, added several values, gave them
all a concise "lib" value and some a more explanatory "lib_opac" value. When I
visited the OPAC's suggestions page
/cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl?op=add_form I saw the form only used the
"lib" values.
The code is in koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/includes/av-build-dropbox.inc
I suspect many patron-facing AVs don't have lib_opac values because they're not
used anywhere, so changing the dropbox code to use lib_opac could have negative
side effects for many existing instances. Would it make sense to check if an AV
has lib_opac, use that, and default to lib if not available? This should make
the transition seamless, unless libraries put inaccurate values in their
lib_opac which they wouldn't notice until now.
