Description Magnus Enger 2015-01-14 08:04:16 UTC 
How many times have we seen people confused by weird behaviour in Koha, which was caused by them not having entered a "catch all" basic circulation rule? 

If we had a very simple sample rule that would catch the combination of all patron categories and all item types, it might save some confusion. 

This should be a part of the optional sample data that users can choose to install as part of the web installer.

Why sample data?  Why not a default behavior if no rules are present?  Either reject transactions until all the pieces are in place, or have a hard set rule in place in case basic rules or a "catch all" is defined by admin.

Doing it via sample data (or mandatory data for that sake) was seen as a quick fix. No objections to making a proper fix for it!

Magnus, it's not a duplicate, bug 15757 won't create a default rule.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2020-01-06 14:11:10 UTC 
I think this has been solved by the onboarding tool that forces you to add a circulation rule at time of installation.
