  Target Milestone: ---

On the label batch edit page (Tools > Label creator > Manage > Label batches >
Edit, labels/label-edit-batch.pl), the table of items in a batch shows these
fixed columns: Label number, Summary (title / author), Item type, Call number,
Barcode, Actions, and Select.

These columns are hardcoded in labels/label-edit-batch.pl. The data comes from
C4::Creators::Lib::get_label_summary(), which only selects title and author
from biblio and itemtype/itype, barcode and itemcallnumber from items.
Libraries can't add other item data to the table, either through table settings
or with JavaScript, because that data never reaches the page.

Use case:
Some libraries use item fields to drive spine or genre stickers. For example,
one library fills 952$3 (Materials specified, items.materials) automatically
from genre headings and uses that value to decide which genre sticker goes on
each item. Staff work from the label batch table while they attach stickers,
but they can't see 952$3 there. They have to look each item up separately.

Proposed enhancement:

1. Add items.materials (Materials specified) to the label batch table, either
as its own column or as part of the Summary cell.
2. Better still, add other commonly useful item fields too, such as location,
ccode, enumchron, itemcallnumber parts, and itemnotes. Make the table
configurable through 3. Table settings (columns_settings), so each library can
show or hide columns as it needs.
Test plan (once a patch exists):

Create or edit an item and set 952$3 (Materials specified).
Go to Tools > Label creator > Manage > Label batches and add that item to a
batch.
Edit the batch.
Confirm the new Materials specified column or data appears for the item.
If table settings are added, confirm the column can be hidden or shown under
Administration > Table settings.
