Description Nicole C. Engard 2011-10-14 12:42:01 UTC
We have a field for the maximum number of items that can be checked out (regardless of item type/patron category) and I think we should have the same for holds.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 4045 ***
Comment 2 Nicole C. Engard 2011-10-14 13:21:32 UTC
While this is related to bug 4045, I'm suggesting that this preference be moved to the circ matrix so it can be done branch by branch.
Comment 3 Marc Véron 2015-12-20 17:25:29 UTC
Still valid?
Comment 4 Owen Leonard 2015-12-21 14:55:15 UTC
This bug is still valid, because there is no setting in circulation and fine rules for defining a maximum number of holds across all item types/patrons.
Comment 5 Marc Véron 2015-12-21 15:01:58 UTC
What is the role of syspref 'maxreserves'? (In reply to Owen Leonard from comment #4)

Is that not covered by the system preference 'maxreserves'?

The system preference 'maxreserves' is a maximum across all libraries, itemtypes, and patrons. This request is for something which is configurable per library but covers all itemtypes and patrons at that library.

Hi Owen, thanks for the clarification, I did not properly read comment #2. 
I changed the bug title a little bit.

Would that be a new column in the table branch_borrower_circ_rules?
Comment 8 Marc Véron 2015-12-21 16:01:24 UTC
...and default_borrower_circ_rules, I suppose.
Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2019-04-28 22:47:50 UTC
I believe this has been fixed, we have the max number of holds in all 3 tables on circulation conditions now.
