Actually, the patch describes the reverse of that.  It deletes this line:

   var popup = '[% popup | html %]';

and replaces it with these lines:

   [% IF popup %]
     var popup = true;
   [% ELSE %]
     var popup = false;
   [% END %]

The file to be patched is here on 19.05:

  /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/str/cataloging_additem.inc

I discovered this using the locate command:

  locate cataloging_additem.inc

Note that the locate command depends on a file location database being updated
regularly.  On my Debian installation, this wasn't being done as a cron job,
so I updated the database manually using this:

  updatedb

One way to patch the file without using an editor is to download the patch
to the directory in question (/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/str),
give it a name like additem.patch, and apply it using this command:

  patch <additem.patch

You will probably need to restart plack after doing this:

  koha-plack --restart INSTANCE

where INSTANCE is the instance name of your library.
