Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2022-10-24 15:27:41 UTC

Right now we have "undeletable" system notices. However, these notices can be modified and there is no easy way to get back to the original version. If we made these versions also "read-only" it would make undoing mistakes much easier for librarians, as they would just have to delete the custom version of the notice.

When saving an "edited" version of these notices, it would actually make a copy with the branchcode set appropriately. The new order for selecting a notice would be branchcode specific, then no branchcode, then the "read-only" version.

I am not sure about this one tbh. 

* We already get complaints about the list of notices being confusing. This could add to the confusion of "which notice is actually used". 
* Translations: New notices are often added in English only and our default notices are mostly not very nice. I think the idea for read-only doesn't work so well in a multi-language environment.
* Our default notices are often not very nice and inconsistent. I would often not want to use them as a default.
