Description Cedric Rose 2023-08-22 14:32:45 UTC 
We're a small, nonprofit library whose members pay a small annual membership fee. We use Koha for most traditional library functions, including as our membership database. Currently there's no way to check out to a patron if their account is expired, but sometimes, patrons tell us "the check is in the mail", etc. 
We'd like to be able to override the "Cannot check out! Attention
Expiration: Patron's card has expired." block on checking out to expired patrons. 

Currently, the only option is to renew them, check out, then roll them back--which introduces more user error.

Hi Cedric, thanks for filing the bug and explaining your use case! Updated version to 'master' to indicate that this feature is also not available in newer versions. As a note: I think if this is going to be developed it might be good to tie it to a system preference or even an override permission.
