There is a field on the serial renew form that says "Note for the librarian that will manage your renewal request: " but it doesn't display anywhere - and what does it mean anyway? When you renew it renews your subscription automatically and doesn't go in to review.
Hi Nicole, there is a system preference so that you can make renewals be added as suggestions in acquisitions - I think the note should appear there somewhere. I have not tested this workflow in while. I think last time I worked with it was before the new acq module got merged. But perhaps this explains a bit :)
Okay I tested that preference and it still renews automatically and the note does not make it in to the suggestion ... so the data in this box (the notes box) is just lost as far as I can see.

Hi Alex, Couple things here: 1 - There is a stray warn left in the patchset 2 - I would tend to agree with Mark, the subroutine should be converted to a hashref 3 - This should probably be two bugs - one to fix the note, one to add the branch option 4 - The span is lost when creating the new column, we should preserve this to retain any CSS that may affect display

This works as described - thx! But I think the ordering process needs more work in another bug. As it stands I am not sure the feature itself is very useful. Still, this is a start! - The suggestion is not linked to the existing record, a new record is created during the ordering process. - The order is not "from a subscription" - which means it won't show up in the serials module.

Nice work everyone! Pushed to master for 20.05

Reported: Bug 24319 - When RenewSerialAddsSuggestion is used, use existing record when ordering from suggestion Bug 24318 - When RenewSerialAddsSuggestion is used, treat suggestion as "order from subscription"
