web client: type to select needed in patron stat cat dropdowns

[Andrea Neiman]

XUL client has type-to-select for stat cats in both the item editor & patron editor.

The web client lacks this in the patron editor.

Requesting that this be restored to the patron editor, as it is helpful when going through long lists of stat cats.

Item editor will be addressed in a separate bug.

Bug 1751356 for the item editor version of this

[Erica Rohlfs (erohlfs)]

Confirmed on 3.0.3 webclient

With long lists of municipalities in our commonwealth and many complaints about staff time spent scrolling a list, do you think there will be any updates on this.

Here is the updated branch:

Removed pullrequest as this looks like it'll be needing a bit more work. Zavier's moving on to new projects, so I intend to pick this up in the near future

I've updated Zavier's commit here: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/collab/khuckins/lp1751353-type-to-select-in-patron-stat-cats

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

This breaks Stat Cats on the patron edit form when I try to apply it. Screenshot attached showing the header but no stat cats appearing (in this test there should be two appearing).

[Ruth Frasur Davis (redavis)]

This problem persists as Terran describes above.

[Kyle Huckins (khuckins)]

I've pushed a cursory branch here: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/khuckins/lp1751353-patron-statcat-tts

We identified that the original javascript-side of this was lost in a git mishap, so I've reworked the branch from scratch.

There are a few issues with eg-combobox not wanting to find the correct values. Those issues are addressed in 1819233, which has been signed-off on.

The last remaining piece of this is to add handling of invalid values - a blank field will fail due to a null value, but a value that isn't on the list will save just fine, which probably isn't ideal.
