Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, I don't remember which library had this problem (I work 
for a company that supports over 40 libraries), so I'm not sure I could 
find the framework again to export it.

However, I did find the bug report that I filled way back when I had 
this problem. 
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23675

You can read what I did (I mention a default value, maybe that's the 
crux of the problem).

Regards,

Caroline
