Previously, CIRCULATION ISSUE logs would store just the itemnumber when
there were no confirmations or forced overrides, but would store a full
JSON structure when overrides were present. This inconsistency makes
reporting difficult as queries need to handle both formats.
This patch changes AddIssue to always store logs in JSON format,
matching the pattern already used in AddRenewal. The JSON structure
now consistently includes:
- issue: issue_id
- branchcode: branchcode
- itemnumber: itemnumber
- confirmations: array of confirmation codes (empty array if none)
- forced: array of forced override codes (empty array if none)
Benefits:
- Consistent data format simplifies reporting and analysis
- Matches existing RENEWAL logging pattern
- Display code (tools/viewlog.pl) already handles both formats,
so backward compatibility is maintained
Test plan:
1. prove t/db_dependent/Circulation.t
2. Perform a normal checkout - verify action log contains JSON
3. Perform a checkout with overrides - verify confirmations/forced
are populated in the JSON
4. Check Tools > Log viewer - both types should display correctly
