This bug report is for the community to decide which of the following is desired for handling of the dateaccessioned field in the item editor:
1. A hint - To tell users if they leave the items.dateaccessioned field (which is typically linked to the 952$d subfield) empty when adding a new item in serials, cataloguing, or acquisitions then Koha will automatically save the current date in that field.
OR
2. Context-aware behaviour - Koha only pre-fills the item editor dateaccessioned field with the current date when the item is added/new.
Shifting this discussion away from bug 29963 so that can proceed to upstream the reversion of bug 29815
