This fixes changing a patron with guarantors from a patron category that allows guarantees to one that doesn't (for example, from Kid to a Patron). Currently, the guarantor relationships are kept (when they shouldn't be).
This fixes the 'Batch item deletion' breadcrumb link when batch deleting items in cataloguing. If you clicked on the link, it would incorrectly take you to the 'Batch item modification' page.
38127 Missing column headings in 'Add user' pop-up modal
This fixes the "Add user" pop-up window when adding a user to a new order in acquisitions. The table now shows the column headings, such as card, name, category, and library.
