Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2021-09-22 17:08:03 UTC
If one's lost item refund behavior is set to charge a new when a lost item is found, but one has WhenLostForgiveFine turned off, then the patron ends up with 2 identical fines. The original overdue never goes away, and a new one is created anyway.

I'd like to just block creation of the second fine.
If that's not feasible, we should at least put a warning on the refund area in circ rules.

I should note, I realize it makes no sense to set things this way. It's a bad idea. But we should maybe protect against it anyway.
