Description Philip Orr 2025-09-11 10:42:30 UTC
In Bug 30515, we are discussing adding a new system preference UsePatronPreferencesForOverdueNotices to let patrons control which overdue messages are sent by mail in their messaging preferences.
For many libraries it would still be necessary to set a certain overdue notice (say the third overdue notice) as "mandatory for print message".
Jonathan suggested to reuse the aforementioned pref and make it multivaluated with 3 values possible: ODUE, ODUE2, ODUE3. Then:
- if at least one is selected then patrons can edit it/them 
- if none selected, we don't allow the patrons to modify any
This would be the simplest way to extend the functionality of Bug 30515.
