Hello Chris,
You can try adding this Template Toolkit to your HOLD notcice:
[%- new_waitingdate = manip.DateCalc( hold.waitingdate, '4 days later'
) -%]
[%- formatted_new_waitingdate = manip.UnixDate(date_prev,"%m/%d/%Y") -%]
Hold not available until: [% formatted_new_waitingdate %]
For this to work you should also add the following to the very top of
the slip:
[%- USE date -%]
[%- manip = date.manip -%]
Alternatively, if you want your date to be in the past instead of the
future you can change the syntax to look like this:
[%- new_waitingdate = manip.DateCalc( hold.waitingdate, '4 days ago ) -%]
Good luck!

Thank you Caroline,
That solution totally make sense, but I apologize that I forgot to
mention that our sorting machine checks in all of our materials,
so we
cannot ignore the hold trigger. Maybe there's a way to configure
Koha to
send hold notices four days later; however, that would mean that
on-shelf items which are held would set on the holds shelf for
four days
before their associated notices go out.
Oh well. Thank you anyway for your help.
