Bug ID: 42734
Summary: autoMemberNumValue syspref has no UI â add it to

Bug 34000 introduced autoMemberNumValue as an internal monotonic counter to
prevent cardnumber re-issuance. However there is currently no way for staff to
view or correct this value if it becomes inflated â for example, if a book
barcode is accidentally scanned when creating a patron and that patron is
subsequently deleted or has their cardnumber corrected.
This patch adds autoMemberNumValue to the Patrons system preferences page (near
autoMemberNum) so that superlibrarians can correct a runaway counter without
contacting vendor support.
The entry includes a caution note explaining:
- that the value is managed automatically and should not normally be changed
- that Koha always generates from max(counter, live_db_max), so lowering the
counter only has effect once the patron responsible for the inflated number has
been deleted or had their cardnumber corrected
- the risk of setting it too low (potential cardnumber re-issuance)
Test plan:
1. Apply patch
2. Go to Administration > System preferences > Patrons
3. Confirm autoMemberNumValue is visible immediately below the autoMemberNum
preference
4. Confirm the caution note is displayed
5. With autoMemberNum enabled, create a patron without specifying a cardnumber
and confirm the generated number is consistent with the counter value
6. Adjust autoMemberNumValue to a lower number (after ensuring no active patron
holds a cardnumber in that range), create another patron, and confirm the next
auto-generated number reflects the corrected counter
