Bug Description
EG 2.12, web staff client
In Holdings View if you use "Add Volumes and Copies" and have a grid line selected, the call number is pulled in from existing volume on that grid line. If you try to add a copy from here, it fails silently. If you change the call number field to be something other than the existing volume's call number, you are able to complete the add.
In XUL, adding a volume will give you a blank call number field, prompting entry. In addition, if you happen to create a call number matching one existing at that OU you will be prompted to merge the volumes on creation. I recommend that the web client incorporate both of these features to make the process more transparent to the user.
