Bug 25081: Fix creation of new item for a received issue
The Bug 23435 introduced the idea of multiple copies added while
receiving a new issue. Unfortunately, under some circumstances, it
causes no items being added at all. It occurs stochastically, only
under some conditions. But it is quite likely to happen while receiving
a supplemental issue.
The reason fot hist is that, in serials-edit.pl, line ca 292 and infra,
@num_copies is treated in the same way as @tags, while it should be
treated similarly to @bibnums. It will be obvious after examining the
content of parameters tag, subfield, field_value, ..., number_of_copies.
In other words, for every edited issue number_of_copies is a scalar.
Nota bene:
a) beter to initialize $countdistinct with zero;
b) note that in master, now, before applying the patch,
$itemhash{$item}->{'num_copies'} is treated once as a scalar
and in the next line--as an array:
$itemhash{$item}->{'num_copies'} //= 1;
for (my $copy = 0; $copy < $itemhash{$item}->{'num_copies'}[$index];){
TEST PLAN
=========
1. Have a subscription with the option "Create an item
record when receiving this serial" active and try to receive a
supplemental issue. Control that a new item under the biblio record
(usually) will not be created.
2. Apply the patch.
3. Repeat p. 1 -- a new item should be created.
