Create separate settings for patron registration, patron edit, opac request account forms

[Lindsay Stratton]

Currently all three "patron record" forms - patron registration, patron edit, and opac request a card - are equally acted upon by the same show/suggest/require ou settings.

It would be useful to allow each form its own setting options.

For example...

 - when registering a new patron in the client the claims returned and claims never checked out fields are not needed

 - requiring an email may not be necessary for an in-person new patron registration, but it is for an online registration

CW MARS is also interested in this.

Some of our libraries would like to require certain fields, for example Date of Birth and Daytime Phone number in patron self-registration but not require them in Patron Reg/Edit in the staff client.

Email address is another great example.

+1 to separate settings. Our libraries are particularly interested in being able to have different fields display between the staff client patron record and the patron self-registration

I'd love to see this in an interface separate from the library settings to make it easier to manage and maintain the three patron reg/edit interfaces.

the potential to be able to require different fields for patron versus staff account registration was raised during the 2023 conference
