Hello Chris and Mark, Thank you for replying. The information on the deleteditems table was particularly valuable. I changed the database and everything went okay smoothly. Our problem, for now, is solved. I also saw Mark's links and although the same cause, it's a different problem. I guess a possible permanent solution for the future would be to put the field to varchar(255) and a new sys pref barcodelenght would default to 20. That way, anyone can change the barcode length to their needs without having to change the database schema which is something evasive and not at all recommended in 99% of the situations. Thanks again, Pedro Amorim 2017-01-09 22:48 GMT-01:00 Mark Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com>:
Greetings,
This question reminded of of a blog entry. http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/09/12/down-the- rabbit-hole-making-cardnumber-field-in-koha-longer-than-16- characters-limit/
It also reminded me of a bugzilla entry. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15690
I think perhaps another patch might be in order as well.
GPML, Mark Tompsett
