A number of libraries would like the ability to have borrower debarments prevent placing holds. Currently, debarments only block checkouts, not the placing of holds. Ideally this would be a system preference.
May I make a slightly different suggestion? In 22.11 you can define restrictions under Administration > patron restrictions. I think instead of a system preference, it would be great to have a 'can place holds' flag in this table. This could be a first step to fully configurable patron restrictions (define per restrictions which behavior it will block or not)
+1 on the idea of making this configurable per restriction type. That seems like nice flexibility.
By restriction would also work just fine, so long as functionality is there.
I voted for the enhancement and I, too, prefer the option to configure by restriction type.
I generalized the bug description a little bit.
+1 This would be helpful
+1 agreed this would be helpful capability.
+1 for this enhancement. Agnostic on how best to achieve it.
