Description Rebecca Coert 2022-01-20 16:28:37 UTC
It would be useful to have the Batch Patron Modification "Expiry Date" field have the option to either set a hard date or "Or add number of days:", as you do with the Batch Extend Due Dates function.

Use Case:
This came about from adjusting 28,500 accounts this week due to COVID closures.  I had to manually adjust the dates in batches of 1000 to ensure that I didn't "over-crowd" one day with too many expiring cards.  Had I been able to say extend "200 days" for each account, the dispersal of accounts could have been more randomized.
