You are correct in that this is how shelf holds work in Koha currently. If on shelf holds are not allowed, only one item need be checked out to allow a hold to be placed. You want the inverse where one available item disallow holds on the record > This problem was investigated in bug 6837, see http://bugs.koha-community. > org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6873, the problem > > > was resolved by Barry Cannon, see Attachment http://bugs.koha-community. > org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=23162&action=diff, > > > but this attachment is without approval (failed QA). > You could contact the original author to see if he would update the patch, or you could hire a Koha developer to do so. > > My message is, that this problem is not satisfactory solved until now. > > Koha is always changing. The best way to make Koha work for you is to advocate for the features you need! If we as a community don't hear that something doesn't work for your situation, it will never change!
