Description Rhonda Kuiper 2022-08-15 21:36:20 UTC
When updating a system preference with a dropdown that contains checkboxes, the changes are not saved in the case where there were items checked and then you try to remove all checks.  
An example of this is OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions.  
Set a couple patron categories as exceptions.  
Save.  
Remove all the categories from the exception list.  
Save.  
You get a message that says 'Nothing to Save' and the changes are not made.

In preferences.js, if we are dealing with multiple select type system preference we check to make sure the value is not NULL before pushing anything to the unserialized array.  I think we should allow for that value to be empty/null.

Comment 5 Joonas Kylmälä 2022-09-04 11:33:04 UTC
Adds a comma in the end of the syspref list due to it sending an empty sysref value in addition to filled ones in the query string:

> MariaDB [koha_kohadev]> select * from systempreferences where variable = "OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions"\G
> *************************** 1. row ***************************
>    variable: OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions
>       value: B,HB,
>     options: 
> explanation: List the patron categories not affected by OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickup if off
>        type: Free

Since the sysref object value is an array we can just check instead whether the array is empty. Will send a patch shortly

Bug 31364: Check length of the multiple syspref array instead whether it is null

The multiple systempreferences are always defined as an empty array at
the minimum, so in order to determine whether we need to remove all
the selections from the systempreference we should check whether the
array is empty and not whether the array doesn't exist.

To test:
 1) Set at least 1 value for OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions
 2) Remove all the values for OPACHoldsIfAvailableAtPickupExceptions
 and notice you get the message "Nothing to save"
 3) Apply patch and repeat, removing all the values should work now.
