Circulation function: Article requests

Description Katrin Fischer 2022-05-23 09:58:05 UTC
To test:

- Create 2 records with a record level itype "article"
- Add an item to one of those with the itype "reference" or similar
- In the circulation conditions, allow article requests 'title only' for the itemtype article
- Verify that the article request link is only shown for the first record without item, although it also matches the circulation rule

In this case, the item is for a printed version of the article that is in storage and not supposed to be used. The library still wants people to use the article request feature to get the document.

It seems strange with the record only option, that the item would overwrite the record level itemtype here.
