Hi Chee, I am going to answer 'No, it can't be applied to 18.05', for a few reasons: - the patch was submitted over three years ago: that is six versions of Koha ago; - even if it applies to the code base, it could cause any number of problems - it has not been tested by project maintainers or subjected to quality assurance (QA) testing; - the concept is a bad idea, if you read the discussion in the bug report: the concept has been rejected by the project's QA Manager no less; - patches that are not part of Koha have to be re-applied at every upgrade: if you do this once, you will keep doing it, and create a maintenance headache for yourself. The only way in Koha for a user to have two categories is to create two records for them. That can cause its own problems. Why not just put them in the category with the most generous circulation rules? Otherwise, Koha does not support the functionality you are seeking. I hope this explains, Bob Birchall Calyx On 7/1/19 9:00 am, Chee Hong wrote:
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. Is there any problem if I want to apply the patch to Koha 18.05? If not, please provide the steps to do so. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Best Regards, Chee

Hi Chee
There is a patch to a bug that has my use case.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=44762&action=edit
My question now is this available in Koha 18.05?
No, this patch was never pushed to master. The discussion about it ended in 2015. Thus, it is not in Koha 18.05 or any other Koha version.
