Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-08-13 12:36:48 UTC
Holds with a future start date and an element of complexity that some libraries would like to avoid. Instead, they use suspensions to delay the fulfilling of holds. However, there's no way to suspend a hold as you place it -- you need to place the hold and then suspend it from another screen.

We should make it possible to set a suspension on a hold as you place it. But we should make is easy to hide the option to do so, so this probably means a new system preference, something like SuspendHoldsAtCreation, with options for No / Intranet / OPAC / Both Intranet and OPAC.
