Suggestion management section

When editing an individual purchase suggestion, when you scroll to the Suggestion Management section, the "Managed by" line automatically updates the manager to the logged in user. If one clicks "Select manager" in order to search for another permitted patron to assign as manager for the suggestion, and selects the patron from the search modal, the manager is not updated to the newly selected patron from the logged in user. 

To test:
1. On the Suggestions management page, click Edit to go into the purchase suggestion
2. In the Suggestion management section of the suggestion, note that it is recorded as being managed by: You
3. Click on "Select manager" and search for a permitted patron to assign as manager
4. Select permitted patron to be manager for the suggestion
5. Note that the Managed by: has not been updated to the selected patron, but remains "You"
6. When suggestion is saved, the Managed by column of the table will still display the logged in user, not the assigned manager

A workaround for this is to check the boxes for the suggestion/s for which you want to update the manager, and click "Select manager" beneath the table, search for and select the new manager in the modal, and click Submit. The Managed by column will now display your selected manager for the suggestion.

I am using the workaround but unfortunately Koha does not allow you to notify the new manager of the suggestion like with the old method.
