Description Caroline Cyr La Rose 2024-05-15 18:43:02 UTC
If DefaultHoldPickupLocation is set to logged in library, this should be taken into account when placing multi-holds. 

To recreate:
0. Make sure the DefaultHoldPickupLocation system preference is set to logged in library.
1. In the staff interface, search the catalog with a term that will return a couple of items (e.g. Shakespeare)
2. In the search results, select two or more results
3. Click Place hold
4. Search for a patron (e.g. Acevedo)
   --> "Pickup at" and "Pickup location" are empty and the staff member must select the library

This patch sets the 'Pickup location' according to the DefaultHoldPickupLocation but not the 'Pickup at' higher up because I was unsure how you'd set that to the item's home/holding branch when there are more than 1 holds being placed. 

I was thinking it would be nice that if you changed 'Pickup at' al the lower 'Pickup location' would also change to what you choose?

That's why I specified "if DefaultHoldPickupLocation is set to logged in library". It should be the same for all holds in that case.

The client who reported this to me is a one-branch library and they wanted to avoid having to choose a branch there (I also filed bug 36870 about that). But I figured if their pref is set to logged in library, it would be another way to avoid the extra clicks.

Thanks Lucas, I hadn't realized we had to fill either the top or the bottom ones. It works this way and removes the extra click.
