Web Client: Call Number Prefix/Suffix ID Displaying on Hold/Transit Dialogs Instead of Label

[John Amundson]

Evergreen 3.0.8 - Web Client

When an item is checked in to go in transit/to the holds shelf, a dialog box appears displaying details about the action.

For the Transit, Hold Transit, and Hold Shelf dialogs, the call number is displayed by default. If a prefix and suffix exist, they are also displayed.

However, instead of displaying the Prefix/Suffix labels, Evergreen displays their IDs.

So instead of DVD FULLM SERIES, you may see something like 1239 FULLM 4353.

In the attached example, my item has a CN Prefix of "DVD" and a suffix of "3". Instead of displaying these labels, the prefix(red outlined)/suffix(green outlined) database IDs are shown.

Just noticed this in 3.6.

The hold_shelf_slip standard template lists,

* call number.prefix.label
* call_number.suffix.label

Which appears to be a typo with the prefix, as it should be call_number,

but in the actual print portion, it uses,

  <div>Call Number: {{call_number.prefix}} {{call_number.label}} {{call_number.suffix}}</div>

Which contradicts the instructions above, and only lists the id's. When changing it to be .label as suggested, it won't display/print anything at all for them, so the code doesn't recognize those fields.
