[Koha] Problem Setting the Renewal Field on Item Types

[Kyle Noakes]

Thank you for your ideas.  My apologies for not including the version of Koha I am running.  I am currently at 3.02.06.  
 
When I go to the Circulation Rules and Fines area, I am unable to add an issuing rule.  I am able to save the setting for "Total Current Checkouts Allowed" (middle option on the page), but am unable to save the area with Fine Amount, Fine Days, Fine Grace Period, etc.  After I select the library fill in the various fields, and click add, everything on the page resets to Default and blank fields without adding a record.  Any more ideas would be greatly apprciated.
 
I also have the System Preference for AllowRenewalLimitOverride set to On, which does give me the checkbox for overriding renewals on a patrons issues tab.  After checking the Override Renewal Limit box and selecting the Renew box for the item, I click "Renew or Return Checked Items.  The page then refreshes and gives a Renewal Error for the item.
 
Although I am skeptical that it would have helped, I would have updated to 3.4 over the weekend if I had noticed the message go out about it just to see if that did anything.  
 
Thank you,

I believe a recent change to Koha moved the renewals out of the item type definition, and into the circulation rules. The rules for renewals by item type are now located in the circulation rules (where they properly belong, imo) and can be edited through that interface.

This tripped us up on a recent upgrade as well, so you're not alone. :)

You didn't say which version you were running, so I can't be totally sure about this. If this seems wrong, holler back and we'll try to troubleshoot more.

Hello,
 
I am unable to edit existing item types to allow them to be renewable.  I am also unable to add a new item type with the "Renewals" field set.  Does anyone have any ideas of why this particular field would not save, but other fields in Item Types Administration would?
 
In the past I have had a similar situation with saving something in Administration.  When it happened previously, I was able to locate the table and field in Mysql and update it manually.  I am unable to find where the "Renewals" field is in the database as it is not located in the itemtypes table.  Any help on the location of the Renewals field would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you,
