It would be nice to allow libraries to configure how the Koha User Name is created in the system. Libraries have many different ways they use this field, such as patron-picked user name, card number, firstname.lastname, or a totally different value. This would be a nice system preference to allow libraries to identify which works for their library and also would be nice to have it as a patron category choice.
I feel like a similar bug was filed before, but I couldn't find it.

We would also be interested in this feature. We currently tie our username field to the cardnumber field so that a user's username is their card number to make the process easy for them. We currently use a snippet of .js for this but it would be great to see if ability to configure this instead in Koha.
