[Koha] Unexpected behaviour 942 $h (3.18)

[Elaine Bradtke]

With the plugin callnumber.pl activated in 942 $h and 952$o :
 the 1 appears after the call number in 942 $h as it is being saved as
described above.  But, it vanishes again - it does not appear in the MARC
after saving. The 952$o is populated automatically with the information
from 942 h.

With the plugin enabled in $942 h, after editing the field if I click on
the editing box to the right of the 942 h (this is only there when the
plugin is activated)  -  it inserts the 1
My original aim for activating the plugin in the 942 h was to pull the call
 number from our 099 field.  But it doesn't do that, and it has to be
manually input.  However if I disable the plugin in 942 and enable it in
952, it will pull the information directly from the 099 field to 952 o. But
if you edit an existing item's 952 o, it adds the 1.

Note: our callnumbers are not unique. I wonder if this is part of the
problem? I was just looking at
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13364 when it
dawned on me that the plugin might be built with the assumption that full
callnumbers would be unique.

At any rate the plugin's behaviour seems contrary to (at least my)
expectations. Perhaps I should file a bug report, once I figure out how to
describe it. I am not the techie on the team ;-)
Maybe someone who really understands how it works could explain what it
does and does not do?
