Description Esther Melander 2024-01-24 16:58:47 UTC 
To recreate:

1. Ensure a label template and layout has been created for barcodes.
2. Go to label creator and select new barcode range.
3. Enter this range:

From: THLS12345
To: THLS12355

An error appears next to the To: field "Must be greater or equal to the from value.

Try again with this range:

From: 12345
To: 12355

And there is no error.

Koha should recognize the incrementation in the first example. If Koha allows for barcodes with a mix of characters per Code39, it should be possible to print a range like this.
Comment 1 Esther Melander 2024-03-01 19:52:46 UTC 
Perhaps one way to deal with this is to add a box for a prefix. In the example above, THLS functions as more of a prefix than an incrementing character.
