Description Nicole C. Engard 2013-05-01 10:29:49 UTC 
Often when people print hold notices they do partial names - like the first 3 letters of the last name or something similar for privacy reasons. It would be nice to have a way to do substrings of fields in the notices and slips, something like:

substring(<<borrowers.surname>>,1,3)

Just an idea - I don't care about the formatting, just the implementation :)

That should be possible with the TT syntax for slips and notices - bug 14757.

I'm marking this as wontfix.
