web client serials: cannot delete expected issues

I am also unable to delete an Expected issue in the Manage Issues tab in 3.0.1-- it fails silently.

I also see the same problem when attempting to delete received issues using the same workflow.

I noticed that there isn't an option to delete issuances in the web client, as there was in the xul client, so I wanted to add a couple of other thoughts on this.

In the xul client, when the last item attached to an issuance was deleted, the issuance was also deleted. I don't know if the same behavior was seen in the web client when this action was working, but, if not, it's even more critical now to make sure it does so since there is now no other way for staff to delete an issuance.

Also, the benefit of being able to delete an issuance in the old client is that it also updated the summary statement in the catalog record. If you deleted an item, which then automatically deleted an issuance, the summary statement was NOT updated. See bug 1414197.

Now that there is no other way to delete the issuance, it becomes more important that bug 1414197 be fixed since there isn't a workaround to getting that statement updated.

I'm setting the importance to High because it has been identified to me as critical to fix this.

Arg ... I finally got to looking at this and it's just a case of missing I18N string definitions. Branch is here:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/miker/lp-1717593-missing_item_change_strings

This does not attempt to address Kathy's concerns (I haven't looked into them, yet) but it will fix the OP's console error.

We're testing this branch on our training server with 3.0.4 installed. We should have some feedback/sign off later this week.

I have tested this code on the server set up by Jason Stephenson and consent to signing off on it -

I want to note that this branch may have also fixed bug 1727815. That bug prevented the user from marking serial items as claimed, not published, etc. Prior to the upgrade to 3.0.4 and the installation of this branch, I was not able to update an item's status. I am now able to do so.

As per Kathy's question on deleting issuances. In my testing, when the last item attached to an issuance was deleted, the issuance was also deleted. However, deleting an item did not update the summary statement in the catalog. What is interesting to note, though, is that if another item attached to the subscription is received or reset, the summary method is updated to reflect all the changes. The same thing happens to any attached copy records; deleting the item does not delete the copy record, but the next time an item is received or reset, the copy record is deleted. I'll update the corresponding bugs with these observations, as well.

Our testing at CW MARS shows this work and fixes another issue.

It does not address Kathy's concerns or bug 1414197, but those are best addressed on that bug.

Thanks, Andrea, Angela, Mike, Kathy, and John!
