[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Serial numbering pattern for MMM dd, YYYY possible?

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Hi Heather,

Thanks! That's exactly what I did in the end. :-)

Thanks again for confirming that I wasn't alone in that fix and that I
route I finally took was a something even a seasoned Librarian would take
(I'm from tech).

FWIW I did put up a small video here - https://youtu.be/BTYzQ1NklcY

Cheers
