Description hebah 2022-11-23 15:49:21 UTC
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.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2022-11-23 21:51:29 UTC
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)
Comment 2 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2022-11-29 16:46:15 UTC
+1 on the idea of making this configurable per restriction type. That seems like nice flexibility.
Comment 3 hebah 2022-11-29 16:51:18 UTC
By restriction would also work just fine, so long as functionality is there.
Comment 4 vstever 2022-11-29 16:51:48 UTC
I voted for the enhancement and I, too, prefer the option to configure by restriction type.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2022-11-30 09:32:03 UTC
