The "new" ApplyFrameworkDefaults option is to coarse sometimes ie quite often you also want to apply default values even if then field wasn't empty before e.g. on duplicating a new controlnumber should be generated etc so I suggest (and already wrote) a new plugin hook (see https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33669)
Created attachment 158710 [details] [review] Bug 35288: ApplyFrameworkDefaults add plugin to add more fine grained defaults handling The "new" ApplyFrameworkDefaults option is to coarse sometimes ie quite often you also want to apply default values even if then field wasn't empty before e.g. on duplicating a new controlnumber should be generated etc This patch adds a new plugin call 'framework_defaults_override' and tidies up the code a little Plugin call: Koha::Plugins->call( 'framework_defaults_override', $tag, $subfield, $value, $form_mode ); ie marc tag, marc subfield, the "before value", the action which triggered the change possible actions are new, duplicate, changed (Framework), imported (via SRU) the plugin has to return a hashref containing two keys apply_override - undef or a true if the default value from the framework should be applied override_default_value - a completly new derived value sub framework_defaults_override { my ( $self, $tag, $subfield, $value, $form_mode ) = @_; # $framework_override->{override_default_value} # $framework_override->{apply_override} my $r = {override_default_value => undef, apply_override => undef}; if ($tag eq '245' && $subfield eq 'a') { $r->{apply_override} = 1; $r->{override_default_value} = $value .' added'; } return $r; } for a demo implementation please see https://github.com/HKS3/hks3-munde-framework-defaults-demo/blob/main/hks3-munde-framework-defaults-demo.kpz To test: 1) apply patch 2) install demo plugin (and don't enable it yet) 3) create a record with a 245a field set to a value eg "My Title" 4) enable ApplyFrameworkDefaults for all 4 cases "Select all" 5) in Cataloging Edit the previously generated record 6) change framework via settings 7) nothing should happen to the title in 245a 8) enable plugin 9) repeat point 5+6 10) the title in 245a should change to "My Title added" 11) please sign off Sponsored-by: Styrian State Library Co-authored-by: Thomas Klausner <domm@plix.at>
another real life example using this plugin hook https://github.com/HKS3/ApplyFrameworkDefaultsLibelle
Mark, Don't we need unit tests for this change?
yes definitely, (there is always a but here, so here it comes) but 1. I just wanted to build a quick working prototype (needed for customer) 2. for the community to evaluate, if it's generally considered usefull 3. at the moment I am not sure how to test, as it's highly dependent on the UI if you could point me to a useful test strategy or a similar test which relies on changing the framework in Biblio Edit I'd be glad to make a test
This works, I'd like to move it along. I'll let the QA decide about the need for unit tests or not.
