Description Kristi Krueger 2023-06-29 19:38:47 UTC
Some libraries have different required fields by patron type. 

For example, regular borrowers may be required to have a birth date, but an Institution patron type would not have a birth date to enter in this field. 

It would be great to be able to customize the borrowermandatoryfield system preferences according to patron type.

This would help with our patron attributes, we need to collect specific data for reciprocal borrowers that doesn't need to be collected for other patron types.
Comment 2 Donna 2026-02-20 15:12:35 UTC
This is a much needed enhancement. For instance, with any organization that uses the guarantor/guarantee relationships (jails, child care, nursing homes) often all you need is the patron name as everything else (address etc) is in the guarantor account.  Instead of having to enter fake data just to fill in the blank, it would be such an improvement to be able to decide what is needed for each patron category.
