Hi Tim,

We ran into the same issue, but because we only want collections to float to/from certain locations. The following is how we handled it in the short-term. Basically, ignoring "floating" unless it was within a short list of org units.

We are a multisystem consortium and we have one system that is looking at using floating collections. They were doing a little testing and found.

 1. Toggled a copy to floating collection
 2. Checked the item out at branch 1 and the copy had circ library as
    branch 1
 3. Returned the item to branch 2 and it set the item to a circ
    library as branch 2  (which is what they wanted)

However, they also found that when the item was returned to a library outside of their system, the circ library was changed to that library outside of their system.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening and only allow it to change within the system? I didn't think this was possible but I want to make sure before I answer the question.
