The "allow changing away from barcode but not anything else" mode of
username changing defaults to "starts with a digit".....but the actual
login code doesn't.
I would call that a bug. I will throw a branch out in a few minutes.

Quoting Ben Shum <[email protected]>:
Hi Tim,
Another library setting that may cause havoc for you down the road
is the option for patron barcode format. You should set a regex
there to identify patron barcode type so that things don't break for
patrons if they try to use their barcode vs. their username. For
some reason in Tpac, if that setting isn't set, when a patron's
username has become something other than their barcode, it will no
longer recognize / use their barcode as a login option but only use
the username. (actually behind the scenes, I think it's only using
the username field, which is usually always starts as the barcode)
Not sure if that's a Tpac bug exactly, or if maybe Evergreen should
ship out of the box with a default sample regex so that this doesn't
happen. Either way I should probably open a Launchpad bug ticket on
the subject.
I can look up what regex we ended up with when I get to the office
later this morning.

Hi Tim,
If you set the library setting, "Allow multiple username changes"
to TRUE and the "lock username" setting to FALSE, does that
work? When I created a new patron record, the barcode was
identical to
the username. With these settings, I was able to login to the
patron's account and change the barcode username to other
usernames multiple times.

I set the library setting "LOCK USERNAME" to false to allow users
to change their username in the PAC. It doesn't seem to have
done anything. Is this correct or is there another setting aI
should be looking at?
This is version 2.2.
