Currently if you are placing a hold on a record in the staff client and want to double-check the author of the title, you have to click off to another page. It would be helpful to have the author information below the title information as it is on other pages. Currently, author information is already present on the "Checkout history" page (catalogue/issuehistory.pl) and the "Items" page (catalogue/moredetail.pl) so it would add some consistency to have it also present on the "Holds" page (reserve/request.pl).
It would be nice to have this information on that page.
Having the author display on this page would be a big help and real time saver.
Created attachment 121259 [details] [review] Bug 28405: add author name to request.tt when it exists To test: 1. Place a hold and observe request.tt 2. No author name 3. Apply patch 4. Reload request.tt 5. Author name should appear.
A few things I noted during testing: If the author is in a 110 or 130 tag instead of a 100 tag it does not display. We don't have a lot of instances of this since we are a public library but it might matter to educational and special libraries. When the author is a one-named person (such as Lee in the screenshot) the display looks a little odd. It's a little confusing that the name Lee is just sort of floating there on the screen - it doesn't feel like it is connected to the title. Even with a standard author with first and last name it still doesn't feel quite connected to the title. This may not be possible, or preferable, but I wonder if it would be better to have the author display after the title on one line (see screenshot)

I think Barbara is right and that the author name should be next to the title because it doesn't feel like it's connected to the title when it's placed below.

I believe the separator / is unnecessary. The title will already end with : or / (ISBD punctuation) and then the separator is doubled up. If we want to match with other places, maybe we should replace it with "by" as UNIMARC doesn't use punctuation. I also wonder if it would be nice to include an author option in the code for the title that takes care of that by also checking the MARC flavor... or removing additional ending punctuation. Just putting this here for now, I'd be happy with almost anything, but : / and // don't look nice right now.
I agree that the "/" is unnecessary.

Why the WONTFIX? I hope it was not my comment, I'd be happy just with the double punctuation removed.

Do we want to display the author for the multi-holds view as well?
