[Koha] Patron Record: Street Number Usage

[Wagner, Jane]

We ran into this as well.  See Bug 3656

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3656

Henri-Damien Laurent sent a patch on September 24 that allows sites to
specify fields to conceal on the patron edit screen.  The patch isn't in
head yet, but keep an eye out for it.

I did a screen change for my site in the meantime to hide the field.

Chris,

I have yet to come across a US library that is using this field- but I
have heard that it is being used in European libraries - which is why
the field is there - I assume - maybe someone who knows the history
better can help you more.
