    Tweak staff client display of circ modifiers

    Change the default from

        Code : Name : Description

    to just

        Code

    Seems very common for libraries to end up with displays like

        Book : Book : Book

    with staff thinking something is wrong.

+1, I am in favor of this change. We've had this changed locally in our system to only show the code for our whole time using Evergreen.

That said, we'll continue to follow whatever the greater community decides to pursue.

[Jason Etheridge (phasefx)]

I like Kathy's suggestion in IRC of defaulting to Name instead of Code, as well. Will re-push the branch with that. Removing pullrequest until we get a better feel of the majority sentiment.

We've been using the name for display purposes, but regardless the default is definitely weird. At the risk of overdoing org_unit settings might it be a good idea to let admins/orgs choose from within the staff client vs. knowing about the properties file?

[Michael Peters (mrpeters)]

I'm with Mark. Sites have spent time to properly configure descriptions, etc. and now they'll be taken away unless they hack at the source code.

[Jane Sandberg (sandbergja)]

Marked as fixedinwebby, since the browser client does not use the Book : Book : Book format.

[Andrea Neiman (aneiman)]

Marking won't fix as this is a XUL client issue
