https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22939 Bug ID: 22939 Summary: Hard due date should block renewals when it wouldn't extend the due date Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lisetteslatah@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- It seems like it would make sense for renewals to be blocked if there is a hard due date set equal to or before the time the renewal would normally allow it would block renewing. aka: School branch (branch a) is closing for the summer. They set their hard due date to be 5/17/19. Their checkout period is 14 days, they allow 1 renewal, and the renewal is 14 days. Patron at branch b (not closing for the summer) gets a book from branch a on hold and checks it out 5/3/19. Due date is 5/17/19 and it says they have 1 renewal on the item. There is no warning about a hard due date and it looks like they should be able to renew it. On 5/16/19 they come in and want to renew the item, as their account says there is a renewal available. When the item is renewed it only gains 1 day. The patron has no indication why it is renewing differently than before. If the renewal was blocked (box grayed out or changed to zero) staff could preserve the previous renewal information without as much confusion for patrons.
