[Evergreen-general] "Default phone" required field in the patron edit screen

[Cheryl Middleton]

Jane,
Look a little further down the patron screen and uncheck the phone box. This removes the yellow shading on Default Phone field so that info no longer required

Subject: [Evergreen-general] "Default phone" required field in the patron edit screen

Hi Evergreeners,

We just upgraded from 3.4 to 3.7, and are running into bug 1901726<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1901726>.  Basically, when we go to edit any of our patrons, there is a field called "Default phone number", which is now required.  It's almost always empty, meaning we can't save the form until we fiddle with it.

It's frustrating that we have to fiddle with this field before making any changes to patron records.  Are there any workarounds that your libraries are using to reduce this frustration?

  -Jane
