In the Change due date plugin by inLibro, there is a possibility of choosing specific item types to extend due dates. I think the original purpose of the batch extend due date tool was for COVID and the purpose was to extend everything regardless, as the libraries were closed. However, it would be nice if we could discontinue de plugin in favour of the native tool. But that would require that the native tool have all the options that the plugin has. https://inlibro.com/en/changeduedate-instructions/ One example of use case would be where a school would want to extend loans for textbooks, because the semester was extended, but not the other types of items.
Yes please! We can't currently use this tool due to some item types have rental fees attached to them. Being able to discriminate based on item type would be incredibly helpful.
Adding an item type filter would be hugely beneficial,
