Example workflow to automate.

We would like to automate a workflow we are implementing which will run daily. We will run a Koha report to identify items that need a number of identical changes made to various item record fields. Ideally the report would run by cron, and hand the itemnumbers to the batch item modification tool running at the command line. (Conceptually it is a little like the marvellous patron emailer feature than came in 19.05 where a report runs by the cron and hands the results over to a Koha Notice and an email is sent).  

The workflow / scenario we are trying to automate is attached, as an example of how useful a batch item modification run at the command line would be.
