Add PAPI methods to edit Patron Information
The ability to edit patron information—such as custom data fields or core registration details like name and email—without requiring the patron’s PIN or password would be highly beneficial. While using a Record Set to bulk edit standardized fields (e.g., expiration date or User1–User5) is extremely helpful, it doesn't cover all use cases.
For example, we regularly receive updated information from our partner school, including address changes. Currently, the inability to programmatically update these records creates workflow bottlenecks and limits our efficiency in maintaining accurate patron data.
