[Koha] How in koha

Hello,

I am not too sure I fully understand what you want to achieve but if you want to keep track of Students ID number why not use that as the cardnumber instead of bothering with attributes. Out of the box installation cardnumber is unique and can not be null.

Hope this helps.
