Web Client: Cannot batch edit Volume/Call Numbers from Copy Bucket

[Anna Goben]

Appears to be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1739290 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1746536.

We attempted to work around the Item Status bugs by using Copy Buckets as recommended with many of the Item Status batch bugs, but it also fails when using Copy Buckets. The Call Number fields are inactive (grey).

This branch fixes call number editing as long as all copies being edited are on the same bib. When copies from multiple bibs are being edited the call numbers aren't available. If that's a workflow that staff want to have available a more in-depth change is required.

We can edit call numbers across bib records in the XUL client under item status (from the actions for catalogers menu). The copy bucket interface in the XUL client doesn't have edit call numbers functionality -- you have to transfer them to item status (which you can't do in the web client).

We do need be able to edit call numbers across bibs somewhere. For example, if I need to change a number of J call numbers to YA call numbers, doing them in batch rather than one record at a time is faster and more efficient.

[Jason Boyer (jboyer)]

And it's apparently not as fixed as I thought. My patch isn't counting the number of bibs correctly anyway, so it only allows call number editing for single items. I suppose that's a good incentive to get moving on the ability to be able to edit any number of items and calls regardless of bibs involved.

Removing milestones due to lack of pull request.

I pushed a branch that lets you edit call numbers from a copy bucket. In the "actions" menu there's now an option "Edit call numbers":

Feedback welcome.

I was able to successfully edit call numbers across multiple bib records in http://angular-acq-test.evergreencatalog.com/.

Pushed to master, rel_3_5, and rel_3_4. Thanks, Mike and Elaine!

I was able to edit the call number for items on different bib records within an Item Bucket.
