It would be nice if a librarian could move a list of items (not only 1 item) from a record to an other.
Hi Mathieu, can you describe the use case a little more? Do you want to have a barcode input field like we have for batch item edits or should the list be created otherwise?
The use case is rare but for example in my library we have an "small object" record with hundreds of items (calculators, staplers...), and we have just decided to create a record by object type, and to move for ex. all the calculators on the "calculator" record. Other use case for serials : we inherited records from our previous ILS with some items linked to a wrong record, because the a new record has been created for the serial at some point, with a new ISSN (the title of the publication was changed for example). We have to move the items one by one I suppose we could have a page inspired by tools/batchMod.pl
I think it would be nice if, when you are in the detail view of a record, you could select items in the same way you do when you want to send multiple items to "Delete selected items" or "Modify selected items". But I am not sure how you would find the record to move the items to. Some kind of simple search, or just an input field for the biblionumber?
Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to modify moveitem.pl to accept multiple barcodes... Check boxes on the detail page, store them in local storage while you do a search, and find "move items here" link in each search result?

Is this a duplicate of bug 25163? (I have that one saved because I would love to see this feature too.) Just checking.

Created attachment 176494 [details] Screen shot new button 'Move selected items' We found ourselves in the same situation as Mathieu Saby, i.e. moving multiple copies to another record (materials or periodicals). During the hackathon 2025 organised by the French association KohaLa, we thought of a solution. Create a ‘move selected items’ button on the bibliographic record at the level of the items to be moved (see screen copy). This would mean : - select the items to be moved - click on the ‘move selected items’ button - enter the biblionumber of the record to which the items are to be moved - validate
