Hi, David!
In our latest exchange, on 9 July 2021 at 9:42 [JST], I received from
you:
Koha uses the "The ever popular do-nothing-approach".

It's disappointing that there doesn't seem to be a locking feature in
Koha. At least in practice, simultaneous use of records is rare or less
frequent in my library. But there was an incident last week when a locking
feature would have been useful, it occurred to me in retrospect. I too
thought of locking timeouts. After all, I wouldn't want a record to be
locked after hours and hours of disuse.
I guess I'll be filing another feature request if such a request is not
already on file.
Thanks for the response.
