Bug 18680: Add an empty entry by default to sort1/sort2 values in patron account
When using sort1/sort2 with authorised values to create a pull down
list, there will be no empty entry unless one is manually added to
the authorised values list.
This is not a good default behaviour, as it can easily
cause errors on patron creation. Without the empty entry, the first
alphabetic value is pre-selected and will be saved if not explicitly
changed. It also doesn't allow to mark sort1/sort2 as mandatory,
as the value is always 'set', the required message won't be triggered.
This adds an empty parameter to av-build-dropbox.inc to allow selectively
adding this empty entry without causing side-effects in other places
this include is used.
To test:
- Create authorised values for either Bsort1 or Bsort2 authorised
value category
- Create a new patron:
- you should see a pull down list on one and an input field for the other
- for the pull down list, there will be no empty entry and the first
alphabetic value will be preselected
- Make your sort1 and sort2 mandatory using BorrowerMandatoryField
- Verify there is still on empty entry
- Apply patch
- Repeat tests and verify that the behaviour is as expected
- There should now be an empty entry
- When the field is marked mandatory and empty is left, the required
warning will be shown.
