Description Kelly McElligott 2024-03-13 16:45:44 UTC 
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.

Maybe you were thinking of bug 32426?
