Description Nicole C. Engard 2011-04-22 13:33:21 UTC
When you do a patron import you can set the values for everything except the messaging preferences.  The CSV should have a field for that and the form on the page should also offer the option of setting a blanket default for what's being imported.

It's my understanding that this ability is there in the command line script, just not the GUI.

This is still desired and came up in training today.

Currently the import script will use the defaults from the patron category of the imported patron.
