Josh,
I thought there was a bug report about XUL templates failing but could not
find it either. The discussion did not specify not being able to set values
to unset/cleared other than that HACK:KLUDGE:NULLcould make the template
fail. Templates, even those created in the web client can also fail if you
have too many default values set to that default value. FOr examplea
template with circ? set to yes and reference set to no can fail.
I have discovered that you can now delete the offending template from the
holdings template creator/editor and then recreate it successfully.
Initially, we had to delete all templates and recreate each one (also
deleting the in the saved preferences under workstation administration).
