Thanks for testing this Owen!

This is indeed a stray tag from testing.

The other filters still do work together with the barcode list. The logic is
AND for all of them, so for example if you put in a barcode list and a due date
from, it will only extend due dates for the barcodes where the current due date
is after the due date from.

The range of due dates filter is not required, but I can see how that's not
entirely clear too. Only one of the New due date fields is actually required,
you can leave the rest of the form blank and it will do all items.

It also wasn't clear to me until I started testing that the Libraries filter is
for the checkout branch. I could see a use case for adding the item owning
library to this tool at some point too.

For a consortium I think it makes sense to be able to use other filters in
tandem with a barcode list as a way to further control and confirm that you are
only extending due dates with specific criteria.

Since the barcodes work together with the other filters, I think a single form
is more clear, but I will take a closer look at examples on other batch
operation forms too.

I think barcodes is what librarians tend to work with more than the
itemnumbers, so that's where I started with this. For the next step of
integrating this into Report batch operations I don't think it matters much
which one is used, but I'd be interested in any opinions on that matter too.
