Description Jason Robb 2025-03-27 14:54:08 UTC
The AllFinesNeedOverride syspref originally only popped up a circ confirmation when a specific patron had fines under the noissuecharge limit.

The syspref now also pops up confirmations when a patron's guarantees or guarantor  (and guarantor's guarantees) have charges.

We deliberately do NOT use the NoIssuesChargeGuarantorsWithGuarantees syspref as we do not want to limit a child's ability to check out based on the debts of other family members.

While the confirmation doesn't restrict checkouts, an untrained circ worker might still take it as a reason to not check out to the child when it pops up.

Currently there's no way to enable/disable the guarantor/guarantee debt confirmations without also disabling the confirmation about fines under the noissuecharge limit.

It would make sense to change AllFinesNeedOverride to a checkbox list where the "debt", "debt_guarantees", and "debt_guranators" confirmations could be enabled/disabled independently.
