Bug fixes
The "Change branch" action on the My LHRs search results list returned an error
You can now use the "Change Branch" action on the My LHRs search results list to update the branch for selected local holding records. Previously, you would see an error message when trying to apply this action.
When working with the Simplified role and adding local data to a label print list some call numbers did not appear on the label
You can now add local data to a label print list when working with the Simplified role and all call number types will appear correctly on the label. Previously, some call number types from the local data pop-up screen did not show up correctly.
Barcodes containing "/" were not found when searching in WorldShare Circulation
You can now search for barcodes that contain a "/" character using the "Enter barcode" input box in WorldShare Circulation. Previously, you would see a server error.
The Authority export list tab showed for all users and institutions under Export lists even if the user was working with a role that does not have access to authority data
You will no longer see the authority export list tab under "Export lists" when you're logged in with a role that does not have access to authority data (e.g. Simplified). Previously, you would see the authority tab but were not able to do anything with it.
Field 008 in LHR Constand Data records did not save values 17-25
You can now save values 17-25 in the 008 field in LHR Constant Data records again. Previously, these values were not saved correctly.
The "Apply filter" button on the Copies screen for the filter by branch and shelving location did not show correctly when zooming in using the French language
The "Apply filter" button will now display correctly in all languages supported by WorldShare when zooming in. Previously, this link didn't display when zooming in and users had to zoom out to see that link.
