            Bug ID: 38703
           Summary: Merged patrons should keep the most recent lastseen
                    date
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: Main
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: Patrons
          Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org

Let's say a patron has duplicate accounts, account #1 and account #2, with the
following data:

             lastseen
Account #1   2024-05-01
Account #2   2024-11-15

Let's say a staff member merges the duplicate accounts and chooses to keep
account #1 based on whatever criteria they use to decide. Currently, account #1
would keep its lastseen date of 2024-05-01.

Since the lastseen date may be used to determine account retention and
automatic renewal, it would make more sense to keep the more recent lastseen
date in this case, especially for patrons who use the library relatively
infrequently. (As an extreme example, I recently found a patron account in our
system that has a lastseen date from 5 years ago yet also still has current
checkouts from earlier this year!)
