Just so you know, there is a reason why the age protection remains, but it is PINES specific. A PINES library, prior to Evergreen, was returning items to age protection after it expired so that no other system’s patrons could place holds. To prevent that, age protection in Evergreen was designed to remain after expiration so that it could not be reassigned to an item.

I’ve been asked to set that up, and it seems like a shame since it was designed to just work automatically, except that items with expired age protection still show up as age protected in the catalog. There is a bug open about it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1251761 Does anyone currently go through and remove the age protection to get around that issue? If so do you do it directly at the DB level or do you use the client? Are there any gotchas about directly updating asset.copy to change the age protection and also changing the shelving location at the same time. If anyone wants to combine resources to get that bug fixed, either with brain power or development funding let me know also.
