Description Sara Brown 2026-02-18 16:13:31 UTC
If a library's 'Holds and bookings policies by item type' is set to only allow pickup at an item's home library, the batch hold modification tool can still be used to update a hold's pickup location to other libraries such that the hold will never trigger to fill. To replicate:

-Set ReservesControlBranch to 'item's home library'
-Set Main library's 'Holds and bookings policies by item type' so that PASS items can only be picked up at Main
-Place a hold on a bib whose only item is a PASS belonging to Main
-Use the Batch hold modification tool to identify the hold you just placed
-Update the pickup location to North. Note that the update is successful, and there's no indication that the pickup location is now a problem.
-Check in Main's PASS, and note that the hold doesn't trigger to fill

The batch update shouldn't process for holds where the change will make the hold unfillable per a library's 'Holds and bookings policies by item type'.
