[Koha] Missing lost status in Default framework item record

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Heather,

I just tested in master and you can make the lost value visible again in
the default framework. I think you just have to keep in mind, that it
won't work the same as when using it from the 'items tab'. But if that
is not a problem for your workflow, you can use it as before.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
