Can't Edit and Delete Stat Cat Entries in Web Client

Adding a note from the duplicate bug that stat cat entries also cannot be deleted.

Stat cats can be edited and deleted in the proposed angular port of the stat cat interface; however, I'm not sure the end result is the desired behaviour.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1857911

When a patron stat cat value is edited the value in the patron account is not updated to match. The old value remains as the chosen value and the edited version is now available from the drop down menu.

When a item stat cat is edited the value in the item editor displays with the edited version. I'm not sure whether the edited version is saved in the item record as there's no way to view the value without running a report.

When a patron stat cat value is deleted the value remains in the patron account but no longer displays in the dropdown.

When an item stat cat value is deleted it no longer displays in the drop down in the item editor. Again I'm not sure whether or not the original value is still saved in the item record.

3.11.1

Still cannot edit or delete stat cat entries

3.12 in Chrome and Firefox - confirmed there's no ability to edit or delete item or patron stat cat entries.

Adding needsdiscussion tag because there has not been a decision made on the desired behavior if a stat cat entry is edited or deleted after it has already been applied to a user or item.

Note that the options to edit and delete entries were specifically disabled in the Angularization project (https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1857911 - comment 50).

This has the needsdiscussion tag, so let's have the discussion and move this forward. Patron and item statistical categories work differently and I don't know if there's a reason to change that. NOBLE doesn't use patron statistical categories much but we use item statistical categories extensively -- libraries really like being able to essentially add their own attributes to items to track all sorts of things.

For item statistical categories, here's what we expect:

* When you delete a value from a statistical category, it no longer displays in the list of values or in any item records.

* When you edit a value from a statistical category, the new value replaces the earlier version in the list of values and the new value replaces the earlier version in the item records. This is similar to the way shelving locations work when deleted or edited.

We'd also like to see the item stat cats behave as Elizabeth describes.

However, we'd like to see patron stat cats behave the same.

If a patron stat cat entry is deleted it should be removed from the list of values and any patron records. If a stat cat value is edited the new value should be used on the patron record.
