Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-10-23 15:18:42 UTC

When creating a news item, display location defaults to a blank value, which is interpreted as "All." As we move more OPAC content into news, "All" becomes increasingly problematic. Currently, a news item set to show in all locations is repeated in 7 places on the OPAC. 

I suggest we default to showing on the staff interface only. I don't think we can make any assumptions about what going to be right most often, and defaulting to the staff interface is the least disruptive if someone forgets to change it.

I think this was resolved by splitting News and HTML customizations into different tools.
