Description Nicole C. Engard 2011-12-19 15:04:54 UTC
It would be nice when coming back to a bib record with items on it already to be able to choose an item to duplicate.  You can duplicate bib records and subscriptions under their edit menus, but the only way to duplicate an item is to use add and duplicate  which is only done when adding a new item - but often you want to duplicate an existing item at a later date and this would allow that.

duplicating fields it shouldn't

2 things.

1 - we should put the edit, duplicate, delete options in a pull down like on other pages

2 - much bigger - the hidden fields are duplicating like number of checkouts and last checkout (see attached)

Why? Duplicate means duplicate everything (except itemnumber and barcode), right?
Comment 8 Mark Tompsett 2015-04-04 23:12:11 UTC
BTW, I love the button dropdown on the Edit/Duplicate/Delete. Such a pretty improvement!

Now for the question: Why is the delete an else on whether there are analytics or not?

Moving to 'In Discussion' to reflect that I have asked some questions before signing off.

The hidden fields include issues and on loan etc., I think duplicating fields you can't manually touch or edit is not helpful.

Essentially it's an extension of Add+duplicate, giving you the option to add additional copies after initial cataloging.

I honestly wondered that myself when editing but not knowing the answer I assumed whoever did that had intention and was better to leave as is than to bug fix someone's feature

Ah, okay, when adding an analytical record (say a separate record for an article in a journal) you attach it to a specific item on the parent record.  This check ensures that if the record has an analytical/'child' record you don't delete it

The rebase is required because of bug 13943.
Also noticed that ampersand parameters were added in poor HTML form.

This is the only point I'd question in the rebase: confirm_deletion has parameters here, but not in master.

Bug 7369 - duplicate item and add dropdown buttons for item actions

This patch adds a link to duplicate existing items on the edit items screen

To test:
1 - Apply patch
2 - navigate to the edit items screen for a record with existing items
3 - click the duplicate link and ensure item info but not barcode are carried over
4 - save the item and ensure it is added correctly
5 - check that all previous functionality on page works as before
