Text to go in the release notes:
This enhancement lets you modify the attributes "repeatable" and "unique identifier" for patron attribute types. Before this change it was not possible to modify these after they were initially set. Now you can modify patron attribute types, depending on the existing values recorded: - repeatable: can make repeatable if it wasn't before; can make not repeatable once any repeatable values are removed - unique identifier: if unique is set you can't add the same value to other patrons; you can't make an existing attribute unique until you edit all the existing values recorded for patrons and make them unique

Description Nicole C. Engard 2012-06-27 13:25:36 UTC 
I understand not letting people edit attribute codes or the fact that it's a unique identifier after it has been saved, but I see no reason why an attribute can't be made repeatable retroactively. I think this value should be editable - at least from 'not repeatable' to 'repeatable' since it might cause problems going from 'repeatable' to 'not repeatable'.

If bug 20443 is integrated rapidly I will have a look at fixing this bug.

Hi Jonathan.

For step 3 I can remove the repeatable flag, but get this error trace message (I also get this when the attributes were setup before applying the patch where there are patrons using it):

The property 'repeatable' cannot be changed, some patron attributes are using it that way. at /usr/share/perl5/Exception/Class/Base.pm line 88

    in Exception::Class::Base::throw at /usr/share/perl5/Exception/Class/Base.pm line 88

       85: 
       86:     $proto->rethrow if ref $proto;
       87: 
       88:     die $proto->new(@_);
       89: }
       90: 
       91: sub rethrow {

       82:         }
       83:     )->count;

       86:         property => 'repeatable' )
       87:       if $count;

For step 5 I can remove the unique flag.

Bug 8326: Make repeatable and unique_id modifiable when editing patron attribute type

This patch add the ability to modify the attribute "repeatable" and
"unique_id" for a patron's attribute type.
Prior to this patch it was not possible, to keep data integrity.

When editing an attr type, the controller will check is the value can be
modified, depending on the existing patron's attributes.

Test plan:
0/ Setup
Create 1 patron attribute PA1 that can be repeatable
Create 1 patron attribute PA2 that does not have the unique restriction
Create 1 patron attribute PA3 that cannot be repeatable and does not
have the unique restriction

1/
Edit them and confirm that you can modify the repeatable and unique
restrictions

2/ Restore values from 0.
Create a patron P1 with several PA1, PA2=42 and whatever in PA3

3/ Edit PA1 => you cannot remove the repeatable flag but can still
remove the unique

4/ Create a patron P2 with PA2=42

5/ Edit PA2 => you cannot add the unique flag

Play a bit more with the different combinaisons and confirm that it
works as advertised.
Comment 6 Jonathan Druart 2021-02-02 10:05:05 UTC 
Sorry David, I completely forgot this patch.
There were some bugs indeed!
I've improved the test plan a bit, hope it makes more sense now.

Thanks Jonathan!

The logic all seems to work for me:

- For the unique flag:
  . if unique is set, you can't add the same value to other patrons
  . if not set and multiple patrons with the same value, you can't make it unique until you make the values unique for all patrons

- For the repeatable flag:
  . you can't unset it until any repeatable values are removed from patrons
  . you can set it as repeatable if it wasn't repeatable before

Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2021-02-07 13:25:45 UTC 
Afaikt this works quite nicely. I have 2 enhancement requests:

1) The "Editable in OPAC" shows greyed out when self registration is used. Can we use the same style if the unique and repeatable cannot be changed? This would increase visibility and consistency.

2) Could we add a tooltip that explains that existing data prevents the change? I think this could be helpful.

I'd really like 1), 2) is a wish list item :)
