[Koha] How to limit number of copies?

[George]

Victor,

I'd recommend opening a bug on Bugzilla saying that a system preference 
should be added to set the maximum number of copies that can be added to 
a bibliographic record when someone uses the "Add multiple copies of 
this item" button on additem.pl.

In the meantime, if you put this jQuery in the intranetuserJS system 
preference, it will set the limit to 10 copies:

//Home > Cataloging > Edit TITLE > items 
(cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=n)
   //Limit the number of copies that can be added to a biblio using the 
"Add multiple copies of this item" button
     $('#cat_additem 
#number_of_copies').attr('type','number').attr('max','10');

And I'll add that jQuery to the jQuery library in just a few minutes.

George
