I tried reading through the bugzilla on this to understand why it was
changed, but I'm afraid not enough of it was in "librarian" for me to
understand!:)  This is going to cause us more work, since I'd have to click
"Items" in the tab on the left to set the status to missing, then go to
another place (click the "Edit" button, then select "Edit items," then
click in the item to edit) to enter a non-public note about such things as
when the item was searched.  It's been faster to click "edit" on the
correct item to set its lost status & enter the non-public note information
in one "edit" step.

But we're still on 3.18, and I haven't any experience yet with 3.20+, so I
might be misunderstanding!  Also, we don't charge fines--did I read the
bugzilla correctly enough to understand that the interaction to the patron
record wasn't happening correctly on lost items, and it was decided not to
correct the problem if one set the item to lost via clicking "Edit" next to
the correct item record in the staff "Normal" display?

Cheerio!
