There are many reasons why the renewals-disabled button might display in the issues table but not all of them will display depending on the circumstance, this can hamper librarians ability to make correct choices. For example: 1. Have an item checkout out what can be renewed at least one time BUT make that item overdue. 2. In the renewal column you'll see "0 Not allowed: overdue". That is good. 3. Have 'AllowRenewalOnHoldOverride' set to 'Don't allow' 4. Place the same item from 1-2 on hold. Make it an item level hold on that specific item. 5. Look at the issues table again, it still says "0 Not allowed: overdue". 6. The message should include some language saying the item can't be renewed becuase it is on hold AND it is overdue.
