Description Katrin Fischer 2019-05-04 15:56:26 UTC
It can easily happen that multiple suggestions for the same record are made. It would be nice if there was an option to merge them and keep both patrons who made the suggestion linked to it.

I would also like the option to merge multiple suggestions. For popular books we can get several suggestions this way we can add holds for all that made suggestions. For some subjects we wait until we have multiple requests before purchasing so a easy way to see how many have requested a title would be helpful.

I would like to be able to merge suggestions as well! It gets messy when we have to keep track of several suggestions for the same title. Even just having an "Add additional patron" button on individual suggestions would be nice, then all attached patrons would get status updates and I could delete duplicate suggestions.
