Koha has been able to send arbitrary item fields via the "item_field" parameter in the config. We have partners that need the ability to created custom item fields from templates, as the item_fields feature cannot accomplish what they need. We need to add a templated custom field feature for items, similar to what we have for patrons.

We have partners that need the ability to created custom item fields from templates, as the item_fields feature cannot accomplish what they need. We need to add a templated custom field feature for items, similar to what we have for patrons. Test Plan: 1) Apply this patch 2) Choose a SIP login to use, edit that account and add the following *inside* the login section: <custom_item_field field="IN" template="[% item.itemnumber %]" /> 3) Restart SIP 4) Run an item information query 5) Note the itemnumber is sent in the IN field!
