PatronAccountFlags

On a patron's account page, under Library use > Patron account flags, the description above the account flags reads "Setting a value here will prevent patron from circulating materials and placing holds on the OPAC" 

We have found that setting the Lost card flag does not prevent a patron from placing holds. 

Ideally, the functionality of the flag should be updated so that holds are prevented by this flag, or the description of the flag should be updated to remove mention of holds. 

Having the ability to prevent patrons with a particular designation (restricted, lost, etc.) from placing holds as well as checking out or renewing would be helpful.

After speaking with Nick at ByWater, part of the issue with the lost/stolen setting is that it needs to work better with the API. The hold check needs to be the same on the OPAC and API.
