Description Katrin Fischer 2021-10-17 14:51:05 UTC 
When using the acquisitions module the vendor field in the item form (item.booksellerid) will be filled with the id of the vendor record.

Sometimes, there are items that will still be catalogued outside the acquisitions module, like older acquisitions or donations. 

To not have a mix of "string" vendor names and ids in the item field, it would be nice if we have a value builder/cataloging plugin that allowed to search for vendors and added the id to the form when editing/adding items.

As a side effect, searching for a name like "Smith" would no longer bring up item's purchased at Smith's, but only those where the records have some connection to the name :)
