Sometimes libraries have to close a branch or altogether, and they'd like to be able to cancel, suspend, and unsuspend holds in a batch. Currently this is achieved through command line database updates which are risky and require professional assistance, especially if your library is hosted. Normally this would be a per branch operation due to the "library is closing" use case, but it might be nice to be able to do this per patron category too. It would also be good if this job were implemented as a long_task background job. Cheers, Liz
I'd also like to see a tool allowing libraries to extend hold expiration dates in a batch, similar to the batch extend due date tool.
Isn't this ticket a duplication of https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=36135 ? Purpose of BZ36135 is to batch modify holds with following actions : - expiration date (not expiration date set by patron) - pick up library - suspend status (only if hold has no found status) - suspend until date (only if suspend status is set) - hold note Cancel and unsuspend should just be added to this list ?
