Description Gretchen Maxeiner 2025-10-09 21:54:44 UTC
Koha will allow staff who do not have force_checkout permissions to check out items beyond the maximum number per type allowed if the item has a circulation alert. In this case a warning is offered but staff can click to continue with the checkout. This behavior is different than when items do not have the circulation alert ; in that case the same staff hit a hard block and cannot override the limitation.
