[Koha] new authorized value for damaged: tinyint vs int

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Giuseppe,

how did you set up your new authorized values for DAMAGED? As you 
noticed already, items.damaged is a tinyint(1). You need to use numbers 
as codes for it to work right and be able to store it. Koha uses the 
authorised_value not the id for referencing.

Hope that helps,

Katrin
