Example

Hi,

In serial collection, items with "Missing" status are always checked by default.
Some libraries always maintain this status in issues. This creates a problem when they want to prune issues.

Example :
(see file attachment)
To prune all the numbers of 2021, i need to :
Go to the 2022 and 2024 tab to uncheck all missing numbers so that it is not deleted.
Go to the 2021 tab, click on "select all" and on "delete selected issues".

If you forget to uncheck before clicking delete, all the missing numbers of 2022 and 2024 will be deleted!


Also, when we edit serials. All missing numbers appear. Which can become cumbersome when there are several numbers for several years.


It would be nice to have a system preference that allows us to choose if we want to check it or not by default

Thanks!

Maude

It is more than the missing status. It is any item with a status other than Arrived. This is problematic for large serial collections because it requires unchecking lots of boxes so that the desired item can be edited. Rather than a system preference, there should be no default selection.
