Hi Elaine, This was a bug in 3.22.06 - I've seen it too and there was a patch for it included in 3.22.07: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16426 Hope this helps, Liz On 12/07/16 06:43, Elaine Bradtke wrote:
We routinely import patron records (derived from our membership database) and overwrite the old ones in order to update expiration dates, addresses, etc. I recently ran this process through our test site (running 3.22.06) and it failed. The error message I got back was the records were not imported because the userid was already in use or missing. I had chosen 'overwrite matching records'
Oddly, the import process worked fine in the production site running 3.22.07
Is there a system preference I should check in the test site? Maybe this is related to Bug 15840 - Import borrowers tool explodes if userid already exists We match on cardnumber, Is this the same as the userid? We don't have a column in our csv file called userid.
