Description Sara Brown 2024-08-21 17:39:08 UTC
To reduce confusion about the differences between blocks and restrictions, the 'Override restriction temporarily' button should be renamed in situations where the override is of a block, not a restriction. 

For example:
-Set AllowFineOverride to "[Don't allow] staff to manually override and check out items to patrons who have more in fines than set in the noissuescharge system preference"
-Add charges to a patron above the amount in noissuescharge, and make sure they have no restrictions
-Using a staff account with force_checkout permission, visit that patron's page to check out an item
-See that the button to override says 'Override restriction temporarily'

Since blocks and true restrictions behave differently in Koha, this should be renamed to avoid confusion.
