Web Client: Item Status - "Edited By" Column Shows User ID Instead of Username

[John Amundson]

Evergreen Web Client 3.0.8 and 3.0.10

In Item Status, the column "Edited By" can be displayed showing the last editor of the item. Currently this column displays the editor's database ID. It would be much more useful if the column displayed the editor's username instead.

I know the database ID can be taken and used as a search term in Patron Search to pull up the account, but this adds unnecessary steps.

Many of our libraries used the "Last Editor" field of "Edit Item Attributes" in the XUL client to troubleshoot problems with items. Since this field seems to no longer exist on the Edit Items screen in the web client, it is important for us to have the editor's username readily available.

I've attached a screenshot showing the Last Editor in the XUL client, (via Edit Item Attributes), and the "Edited By" field in web client.

here's a branch with a fleshed editor to display the usrname:

Thank you for your work on this, abellenir

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, John Amundson and my email address, <email address hidden>.

Jason Stephenson noted that some adjustments need to be made if we want to backport it to 3.0.

Pushed to master, rel_3_1, and rel_3_0.

Thanks a. and John!
