What’s on our mind: Runtime parameter :in improvements in Koha LMS

Last updated on: 5th May 2026| 4th March 2026 | Nason Bimbe | Koha

In this week’s ‘What’s on our Mind’ video, Nason shares an improvement to the behaviour of the runtime parameter – Allow multiple selections (:in) which now uses the Select2 component. From Koha release 25.05 onwards, you no longer need to use CTRL + select to select your options, which is handy when you are working with a long list. This feature has been added to the ‘item type’ and ‘home library’ selection lists in Export Bibliographic records.
