For me, AllowPatronToControlAutorenewal is a switch to add this option to the OPAC, not to enable/disable the whole feature. Which is why I thought another syspref would be the way to go.
But that's just the way I understand it, it may be wrong.
I honestly don't care much how it is implemented, I would have been happy with the BorrowerUnwantedFields method. But since we started upgrading clients to 20.05, I've had multiple comments on the yes/no option in the patron file. So I thought I'd comment with my thoughts and experience.
I totally agree with you on the master switch, that would be nice to remove complexity from the GUI for libraries not interested in automatic renewals at all. I can also imagine a disable setting for AllowPatronToControlAutoRenewal, as not everyone will probably want this type of granular per person setting. BUT BIG BUT: I don't think it should hide it from circulation rules, but only control the option in he patron record. Having auto-renewals scheduled automatically and the options to intervene for some patrons are different things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
