[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] can't save changes in Coded Value Map

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley]

Hi Holly,

For this class of bug, where clicking a Save button doesn't seem to do
anything at all, there is usually an error message in the JavaScript
console of the staff client.

Assuming suitable permissions in the staff client, you can reach this
in the menus via Admin -> For Developers -> JavaScript console.  I
recommend you get the Javascript console open in one tab, and in
another tab bring the Coded Value Maps interface to the point right
before you would click save.  Then switch to the JavaScript console
tab, click its Clear button, switch back to the Coded Value Maps tab,
click Save, and finally switch back to the JavaScript console tab to
see what has appeared.

It probably won't be a very human-friendly error message, but it
usually contains a clue, and it can often be cross-referenced in the
server logs by a System administrator type to find out more about the
problem.

Be aware that these error messages could contain sensitive information
that you'd want to redact before sharing, like authentication tokens
(strings of 32 hexadecimal characters) and/or internal IP addresses.

Hope this helps,

Lebbeous
