Description Nicole C. Engard 2013-04-12 17:01:40 UTC
It would be nice if you could do a default rule for a patron category and a hard due date instead of just for each item type/patron category combo.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2019-03-14 23:25:34 UTC
I am not sure if this should be implemented as suggested. Maybe something like inheritance or batche editing circ rules would be better?
Comment 2 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-09-10 17:04:12 UTC
I'm hijacking this old bug a bit. I propose that instead of removing hard due dates from circ rules entirely we allow the definition of a default hard due date per patron category. Ideally, each rule would allow one to either set a date or select "category default."
