Still sometimes staff members should be able to override this restriction. This patch allows staff member to override checkout restriction temporarily with "circulate_force_checkout". Test plan: - Add fines over fine balance limit to patron - As staff member try to checkout for this patron - Check out not allowed - Apply patch - Click "Override restriction temporarily"-button - Check out succesful -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The patron had $10 in fine and I was not using a superlibrarian account. I believe the "AllowFineOverride" setting in the administration panel will meet your needs.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23379 --- Comment #3 from Emmi Takkinen <emmi.takkinen@outlook.com> --- Lisette, changing settings the way you suggested would allow restriction override for all patrons permanently (until settings are changed back) and that isn't always the desirable option. This patch adds ability to override single patrons restriction temporarily (basically meaning just once) by clicking "Override restriction temporarily" button. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23379 --- Comment #4 from Lisette Scheer <lisetteslatah@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 91884 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=91884&action=edit AllowFineOverride Allow checkout attempt Emmi, I just tested on master and "AllowFineOverride Allow" makes you confirm override for each patron separately. It allows you to override for each patron, but you still have to do each one, it doesn't just turn off the block for all patrons until the setting is changed back. If you check out to another patron and come back to the original patron who had their fines overridden, you have to override again to checkout. Many libraries that use koha don't allow their staff to override, so by adding the button without a way to turn it off, that seems like a regression. (HEA stats list 732 have it off, 613 have it on at this time.) The current master with AllowFinesOverride Allow functioned identically to when your patch was applied with AllowFinesOverride Don't Allow, except you have to hit the button before you scan the first book rather than after. Personally I prefer the button first so it is obvious as the start of the transaction. I have attached a photo of what the override looked like when I tried to check a book out to a patron with too many fines, which did some up each time I went to a patron with too many fines.
