Hi Lucas, do you really mean code or one of the descriptions? (In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #1) > Hi Lucas, do you really mean code or one of the descriptions? Katrin, sorry. I mean code. Hm, then I am not opposed to fixing issues, but I'd also strongly encourage people not to do that. "Driver's license" is not a code, it's a description. We train libraries to stick to alphanumeric, no spaces, no underscores, no special characters etc. because it also tends to create problems with search (locations, collections, etc.) I've noticed the same issue when the selected guarantor account includes a special character. For example, a simple apostrophe in the guarantor account can block the selection. Test plan 1. Find two patrons: -patron 1 = guarantee -patron 2 = guarantor 2. In the patron 2 account, add a special character in the address field (e.g. L'Aqueduc) and save 3. Return to the patron 1 and add a guarantor 4. Search for the patron 2 5. Click on "Select" --> Nothing happens 6. Edit the patron 2 7. Remove the special character and save 8. Try to add the guarantor again --> This time, Koha will link these accounts as it should do normally.
