Created attachment 10437 [details] Check-in and Renewwal disabled when an item is on hold When an item is on hold, I do not get the option to check in the document in the user account. See corresponding screenshot. The only way to return a document is by entering the barcode in the return box. I also do not get the option to renew a document on hold even if "AllowHoldPolicyOverride" is set to "allow". This is the case for the current screen shot. So if I want to renew a document on hold because the client need a few more days to return it. I need to place another hold for that client. Move is hold at the top of the list, return the book, accept the hold and loan the book again. This is very annoying.
The reason you can't check in on-hold items from the circulation or patron details screen is that holds will not be properly handled. See Bug 3514. Regarding AllowHoldPolicyOverride: The preference is designed to allow staff members to override hold policies when placing holds, not during other circulation operations.
