Description Nick Clemens 2021-10-14 11:21:33 UTC
Bug 27545 expanded the use of NewItemsDefaultLocation, however, it checks for $defaultvalues undefined.

There are several calls that pass '' (empty string) for default values.

It is expected to be a hashref, so we should pass undef if we don't have defaults.

Otherwise, we get an error when NewItemsDefaultLocation is set:
Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Items.pm line 1605.

2 - Stage a file of marc records
3 - Create an acquisitions basket with 'AcqCreateItems' set to 'ordering'
4 - Attempt to add to basket from your staged file
5 - You get a 500 error, and in the logs:
    Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Items.pm line 1605.
