[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library setting: GUI: Hide these fields within the Item Attribute Editor.

[Morgan, Michele]

A little digging reveals that the holdings editor defaults are stored in
the user setting *cat.copy.defaults *

Here is the *value *of that setting for a staff user:

{"auto_gen_barcode":false,"barcode_checkdigit":false,"copy_notes":true,"show_vol_template_controls":true,"copy_tags":true,"statcats":true,"attributes":{"deposit":false,"location":true,"deposit_amount":false,"loan_duration":true,"status":true,"mint_condition":false,"floating":true,"opac_visible":true,"circ_lib":true,"holdable":true,"cost":true,"price":true,"circ_as_type":false,"alerts":true,"circulate":true,"fine_level":true,"circ_modifier":true,"age_protect":true,"ref":true}}

Since user settings can be turned into org unit settings, you could
potentially do this globally.

You would need to add a row in the *config.org_unit_setting_type *table
with the name *cat.copy.defaults*

Then add a row to *actor.org_unit_setting* with name=cat.copy.defaults,
org_unit=1and value = the string (like above) specifying the fields to be
hidden

User settings would override this, but it should give you a baseline.

I haven't tested this, but will give it a try on a test server when I have
a chance.
