Sonia,
I can't make up the exact Koha version from what you write. So the following 
reply is based on some assumptions that could not be true..

Probably you are on 3.8.X or 3.10.X now. 
You say that this list is created by no one. I assume that this list has been 
created by a user that has been deleted from your system. In that case the 
owner becomes null (empty); use of the list is still governed however by the 
permissions defined for that list. Did your user try to add items without being 
logged in, for instance? When she logs in, can she see the list, add items or 
delete items? 

What we still need in Koha, is to change ownership for such lists. 
A quick and dirty way to recover this situation would need mysql access to the 
database.
If you have that or someone can do this for you, please check:
  select shelfnumber from virtualshelves where shelfname LIKE '%yourlistname%'
  *yourlistname should be substituted *
  use this number in the next mysql command: i called it yournumber
  select owner, allow_add, allow_delete_own, allow_delete_other for 
shelfnumber= yournumber
  if you have no error here, you are on 3.8
  i guess owner is null, but if the other values are 1, you should be able to 
use the list
  if not, try this:
  update virtualshelves set allow_add=1 where shelfnumber=yournumber

Hope this helps.
And keep an eye on further developments for lists..

Marcel

Onderwerp: Re: [Koha] Can't add items in public lists any more...

Dear all
Do you know if the lists owners could have changed with our recent Koha 
update?I have checked the Koha manual, I have googled whatever I could, I just 
can't find much information about these public lists.  How do we change the 
owner?  We have got a librarian here, she used to be able to add items in some 
lists (I am not sure whether she was the lists owner or not, but at least she 
could add items), no she can't.Also, I have just tried myself.  If I create a 
public list with everyone being allowed to do anything, then really it works, 
everyone can use it.  But we can't use any more the lists we used to use 
before, there is noone written in the "created by" column for these lists, and 
we don't know how to change that.  Another way of solving the problem for us, 
could be that I create new lists with everyone being allowed to use them again, 
and then export the contents of the old useless lists, but I can't find in the 
manual how to export / copy / paste / do-anything-really with
  the public lists.
Any help would be appreciated...
Cheers,
Sonia.
