Bug Description

When adding materials to a course using the “Associate item” option (e.g. adding a physical item from the catalog), staff input/scan the item barcode and, optionally, enter the item’s relationship to the course. Staff also have the option to edit the item’s call number, circ modifier, Item status and shelving location. Since these items are in the library’s collection, it is likely that at least some of these fields also will need to be edited. However, these fields display further down on the page and *after* the “Add Material” button. Once that button is clicked, those four additional fields can no longer be edited. So, if staff inadvertently click the button, the only way to edit the item is to remove it from the course and start over. It would be helpful either to move the “Add Materials” button to the bottom of this page.

Agreed. Here's a branch that moves this button: user/sandbergja/lp1907923_move_course_materials_button

Here's a link: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/sandbergja/lp1907923_move_course_materials_button

And here are the testing notes from the commit message:

1) Apply this patch
2) In the staff client, go to Admin > Local Admin > Course Reserves List
3) Double click on a course
4) Go to the course materials tab
5) Note that the "Add Material" button is now beneath the temporary call
   number, circ mod, item status, and shelving location fields.
