Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2022-10-26 19:12:53 UTC
Koha's club holds give a way to place holds for all club members on a given biblio. One can create a club for a given author and then use it to place holds for interested patrons on all new titles by that author.

It would be really helpful if Koha could be configured to prompt the user to place those club holds when creating/updating titles for the club author. 

It would also be helpful if the club could somehow be inherently tied to the author so one wouldn't have to select the correct club out of a list of authors.

Perhaps we could store a club_id in the author authority somewhere? Then pop up a modal suggesting a club hold whenever a first holdable item is added to a bib tied to that authority?
