NEKLS has changed all of the labels for phone to "Phone (Primary)" and "Phone (Secondary)" instead of home/mobile, using jquery. Same for email. We also added a little note that says "Will be printed on transit slips" beside the correct fields, as an additional reminder as to which one will print out. The reason for this was that Koha only shows the primary phone/email address on printed slips. People who only had mobile phones, and had those phone numbers added to the mobile field were not getting their number printed out on hold slips, confusing library staff and making it hard to contact them regarding their holds. Of course, the easy answer is not technological: just put the mobile number in the home phone field. As it turns out, some of our staff are very literal in their interpretation of the labels on the fields.
Which actually brings up another thing that probably needs to be added as a "boy it would be nice if..." bug: if there is only a mobile number in the record, that is the one that should be printed on the slip(s). That is, if we're not going to change the labels permanently. The logic should be as follows: if the home phone is empty, then print the mobile. (same with email addresses: if no home email, print the work email on the slip) And happy weekend, everybody.
