Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-06-15 14:34:39 UTC
We've created a confusing situation with how we label previous borrower data on moredetail.pl.

The regular circ history pulled from the issues table is labeled "Last borrower" for the most recent patron to have had and returned the item and "Previous borrower" for the patron before them. This data is wholly unconnected to the StoreLastBorrower system preference.

If the StoreLastBorrower system preference is turned on, then moredetail.pl will also include data from the items_last_borrower table. This data is labeled as "Last returned by."

It is needlessly confusing that we're using the phrase "last borrower" to refer to two different bits of data. We should *either* rename the syspref *or* switch the labels on moredetail.pl. The former seems like more work to patch but less confusing for users.
