When renewing a serial subscription using the renew button on the serial detail page, the library pull down in the dialog window is set to "-", although a library was set and saved for the subscription before.
Created attachment 114834 [details] [review] Bug 27332: Use the branchcode from the subscription when renewing
What's the point (/expected behaviour) of this branchcode dropdown? Reading the code it seems that it's only used when RenewSerialAddsSuggestion is set. The new suggestion will have this branchcode defined but it won't modify the subscription.
Hi Jonathan, I came to the same conclusion yesterday when I tried to document it for our users. I think it should preselect either the currently logged in library or the library of the subscription (maybe second with a fallback to first as a lot of single branch libraries don't set the library in the subscription consistently). But it should only show when RenewSerialAddsSuggestion is turned on, which was not the case here. Same for the note field "to the librarian" below. I think this is lost when the feature is turned off as well.
