Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-11-06 19:24:34 UTC
The HidePatronName syspref says: "(Show / Don't show) the names of patrons that have items checked out or on hold on detail pages or the "Place Hold" screen."

This syspref is also hiding the patron name from the checkin screen. If that is the intended behavior, we should clarify this wording. If that's not the intended behavior, we should change the behavior.

I've confirmed this is a change between 19.11 and 20.05.
Comment 2 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-11-08 01:22:11 UTC
Looks like this is caused by a line added in bug 23433. I'm not clear whether or not it was intentional.
