Yes, that works. If you're adding a new record for an item that's 'lost' . . you're stuck. This is a problem that libraries who are transitioning from cards and old database files to Koha often have. On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 2:56 AM, Bob Birchall <bob@calyx.net.au> wrote:
Hi Elaine, I understand that in your situation. For the benefit of others, the better way to set lost status is from the record Details page by selecting the Items tab from those at left. Bob

Thanks for that. It does display in other frameworks, just not the Default. This change to the Default framework actually works against us. I will change it back, because it's necessary for our collection. I suppose the right answer is to correct the framework in the faulty records, but that's not as critical as some other projects I'm working on. We've got material shelved all over an old building and I don't want the staff to spend a lot of time looking for something that's 'lost'. Precisely because we have so many different shelving locations (and we've been shifting material as the building is rehabbed) we're not willing to abandon these items altogether, they usually do turn up eventually. Lost status has nothing to do with our borrowers. We rarely circulate material.

Yes indeed it is a deliberate change. Have a read of the rationale: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5533
We're advising our clients not to change it back. Cheers, Bob

Apparently the behaviour got changed and the field is hidden in the framework setting for the editor. You could change the visibility in the MARC Frameworks editor.
