There are times that libraries use the public note field to say something specific about the item. This note could be useful to the patrons when they are placing an item-specific hold. For example, say a library has 3 copies of a popular DVD, they are all on the same bibliographic record. Say one of these copies includes the Director's Cut, making it slightly different and noted in the Public Note field. This is something that a patron might want to specifically place a hold on for that reason. Currently, the patron can see the public note when viewing the record and the copies, but this public note is not visible when placing a hold, so the patron doesn't know which copy to pick to get the one with the Director's Cut.
Created attachment 129586 [details] [review] Bug 29899: Show public note to patrons when placing a hold This patch adds public note to the table of information shown about items when placing a hold on a specific item in the OPAC. To test, apply the patch and check Administration -> Circulation and fine rules. You should have at least one patron category/item type configured to allow OPAC item level holds. - Modify an item to add information to the "Public note" field. - Locate that record in the OPAC and place a hold on it. - On the "Placing hold" page, click "Show more options" and "A specific item." - In the table of items you should see a "Notes" column showing the information you added to the item.
