--- Comment #3 from Sara Brown <[email protected]> ---
Counting a group as one hold feels more fair with the concept of a group, but
I'm not sure how it will apply/calculate in a practical sense.

Issue 1: How would this look when multiple 'Holds allowed (Total)' rules apply?
For example:

Group A has 5 Books (Rule 1). This would count as 1 toward 'Holds allowed
(Total)', and 1 toward 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)'. 

But group B has 2 Book titles (Rule 1), 1 Audiobook (Rule 2), and 1 Large print
(Rule 3). Would the group count as 1 hold toward Rule 1, 1 toward Rule 2, and 1
toward Rule 3? Would it count as 1 or 3 toward 'Maximum total holds allowed
(count)'? 

I think it might be confusing if sometimes the sum of 'Holds allowed (total)' = 
'Maximum total holds allowed (count)' [Group A: 1 'Holds allowed (total)' = 1
'Maximum total holds allowed (count)'], but other times, the sum of 'Holds
allowed (total)' > 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)' [Group B: 3 'Holds
allowed (total)' > 1 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)']. 

Issue 2: If a system's ReservesControlBranch is 'item's home library' and
titles are from different libraries, which library's rules are used for 'Holds
allowed (Total)' and 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)'? For example:

-Group C has 3 titles (all itype Book)
-North allows 2 Book holds, Main allows 3, and East allows 4 ('Holds allowed
(Total)')
-Bib 1 has only has North copies, bib 2 only has Main copies, and bib 3 only
has East copies
--North allows 5 total holds, Main allows 10, and East allows 6 ('Maximum total
holds allowed (count)')

Does Koha use North, Main, or East's Book 'Holds allowed (Total)'? And which
library's 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)' does this count toward?
