Display & default value for mint_condition in serial copy template

Bug Description

EG 2.4

Mint_condition is displayed as field Quality in Item Attribute Editor with a default value of Good (and another option of Medicore), though it is a Boolean field (t=Good).

But on serial copy template it is displayed as checkbox and the default is false (box not selected). This caused some confusion to our libraries.

It will be good if they both are displayed in the same way with the same default.

Noting that the web client serial copy templates and the item editor now use the same language here (Good / Damaged), though the serial copy templates does not set a default value (item editor will still default this to true).

Can this be closed, or is it still expected that a serial copy template will default to quality = good?

Tested on version 3.7

I think that it should still be expected to display in some manner. Although the workflow has slightly changed, displaying the default value (Good) is still problematic. The display isn't just localized to "quality" though. If the template creator leaves, for example, "Reference" unselected, there is not a way for another user to inherently know the default value for Reference "Yes / No" This may be separate bug worthy, but the column for condition is still labeled "Mint Condition?" and should be relabeled to "Quality".
