Batch Actions can no longer select <None> to remove prefix / suffix

[Steve Callender]

Tested in EG 3.9

When going to the holdings editor and doing a "Batch Actions", you cannot select <None> in the Prefix or Suffix field in order to clear out the prefix or suffix assignment. You can only select from pre-existing prefixes or suffixes and leaving it blank will not clear out existing data in those fields for the records being edited.

[Ruth Frasur Davis (redavis)]

The lack of the ability to apply a blank or <none> from the batch edit is a significant regression for our catalogers in systems that use prefixes and/or suffixes.

This was reported by end user catalogers in our consortium after the upgrade to 3.9.1 and has been verified by others in Evergreen Indiana.

[Elizabeth Thomsen (et-8)]

We use prefixes and suffixes extensively and this is a big issue for us.

[Michele Morgan (mmorgan)]

Here's a working branch that restores the option to select <NONE> to clear a prefix or suffix in batch actions:

The patch works for me. Pushed to rel_3_11, rel_3_12, and main, along with an added commit for a release note.

Thanks, Michele, Ruth, and everyone else!
