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.
I tried reading through the bugzilla on this to understand why it was changed, but I'm afraid not enough of it was in "librarian" for me to understand!:) This is going to cause us more work, since I'd have to click "Items" in the tab on the left to set the status to missing, then go to another place (click the "Edit" button, then select "Edit items," then click in the item to edit) to enter a non-public note about such things as when the item was searched. It's been faster to click "edit" on the correct item to set its lost status & enter the non-public note information in one "edit" step. But we're still on 3.18, and I haven't any experience yet with 3.20+, so I might be misunderstanding! Also, we don't charge fines--did I read the bugzilla correctly enough to understand that the interaction to the patron record wasn't happening correctly on lost items, and it was decided not to correct the problem if one set the item to lost via clicking "Edit" next to the correct item record in the staff "Normal" display?
