Description Katrin Fischer 2019-08-21 11:18:16 UTC
When writing of an individual fine or fee, the description column shows the title of the patron (mr, mrs, borrowers.title).

Could this be a variable confusion? (Record title vs. patron title?)

So far confirmed in latest 18.11.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2019-11-03 22:43:51 UTC
Confirmed on master now as well.

To test:
- Make sure that in the account you use a saluation is set (Mr Mrs...)
- Create a manual fine
- Pay or Writeoff the fine using the buttons next to the fine (not at the bottom)
- Look at the description shown before saving

It only happens for writeoff.

Bug 23483: Show the description, not the patron's title when writing off an individual fine/fee

When writing off an individual fine, the description shown
was the patron's title, instead of the fine description.
Fixing it by changing it to the same template variable used for
paying individuals so they match up.

To test:
- Pick a patron and make sure salutation is set (Mr, Mrs, ...)
- Create a manual fine
- For the fine, compare the description shown when using the Writeoff
  and Pay buttons next to the fine
- Verify the display is different and writeoff displays the salutation
- Apply patch
- Repeat, descriptions now should match up
