Users can delete/clear out the dateexpiry (patron expiration date) in the Batch Patron Modification tool. Koha needs a patron expiration date and will autocalculate a new patron expiration date when that patron is next modified. Can we remove the 'clear' feature on the expiration date for Patron batch modification?
The "clear" link deletes the date in the field but doing so shouldn't have any affect on the batch update--empty values are assumed to be unchanged. So I assume it's the "delete value" checkbox which is in question. We can make a quick change to the template to hide it for the expiration date field but I wonder if a more complete fix wouldn't be to make the batch patron modification tool auto-calculate the expiration date if the user checked the "delete value" check box? I feel like that would make the process more consistent to the way editing an individual patron works.
Yes please. I like this solution. +1 > make the batch patron > modification tool auto-calculate the expiration date if the user checked the > "delete value" check box? I feel like that would make the process more > consistent to the way editing an individual patron works.
+1, yes please, we would like Koha to auto-calculate new expiration dates when clearing existing dates via batch patron modification.
