Batch item modification, problem with location
Hi, when I try to modify a batch of items to assign a location (authorized value LOC, would be 952$c) to them, there are in the dropdown list of possible locations only those belonging to a different branch from the branch my items belong to (as both their home and holding branch). Thus, I cannot assign my desired location via batch item modification. I stumbled upon this in 20.11 and 22.05. I would expect to see either all locations from the LOC authorized value in the dropdown list (requiring some mindfulness when batch assigning them to items), or those belonging to the items' respective home and/or holding branch. Is this a bug? I checked Bugzilla, but wasn't sure if any of the bugs there fit.

Hi Anke, I think maybe you only see the locations available to the library you are logged in as. Could this be the case? I am not sure if it was intended to limit the batch item edit form like this, but it's always worth filing a bug if something doesn't work as expected. I am not sure what the general expectation here is, but I like your suggestion that it should depend on the items selected somehow. Hope this helps, Katrin On 13.07.22 16:00, Bruns, Anke wrote:
