Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-07-02 17:26:53 UTC
To recreate:
- Have a bib in your system with the title "E Street Shuffle"
- Confirm you do not have barcode "XXX" in your system
- Have Fast Cataloging enabled
- Try to check out barcode "XXX" to a patron, get notice that barcode does not exist, follow link to Fast Cataloging
- In your Fast Add record, enter title "E Street Shuffle"
- click Save, get a popup asking if your new record is a duplicate of the existing record
- click "Yes, View Existing Items"
- Koha takes you to the existing bib, where you can add a new item (assuming you have permission)
- that item will not maintain the XXX barcode and will not follow any of the other settings in one's Fast Add framework

I don't expect all libraries to agree on how this should work. It'd be great to have a system preference with which to set whether or not to do that dupe check at all on fast add.
