The > backdating returns feature does not suffer from this kind of fragility. It should be noted that we are seeing that the bookdrop mode is backdating based on the last open day of the item's owning library, not the library the item was checked in at. Maybe this is a separate bug issue, but thought I would mention it. Ideally, the back dating should be based on where it was returned. Otherwise, patrons are being fined inconsistently and unfairly because the owning library was open the previous day, regardless that the library they dropped the item off at wasn't. I hope that makes sense. Also, perhaps the calendar widget could be made to default to the last open day when clicked on. If we went the route of doing away with bookdrop mode, the permissions that were brought up in comment to could control weather the date could actually be changed to anything else or not. ???
