I think that's wrong - you should not have a hold slip if no email is generated and the hold is not set to waiting. The slip should only happen if the hold is waiting or set to waiting - otherwise you end up with 'available' items on the hold shelf. I wonder if the message could be better as on hold sounds like it's already waiting, but it's not. We should have different messages for already waiting and having a hold on it that's not yet confirmed. I think what Nick describes is a 3rd option: hold for A, don't confirm hold, try to checkout to A. In this case, the item was not waiting and should be set to waiting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
