[Bug 37819] New: Koha could auto-update due dates if patron dateexpiry is updated to before current item due date
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37819 Bug ID: 37819 Summary: Koha could auto-update due dates if patron dateexpiry is updated to before current item due date Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: chris.rowlands6@nhs.net QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com This is currently achieved by library staff renewing the patron's items with the ReturnBeforeExpiry setting set to "Require". A couple of libraries in our consortium have suggested it would be more convenient if this was done automatically when saving a patron record after editing the dateexpiry field. I expect for professional/health libraries where users leave their posts at quite short notice would find this useful. I'm imagining a couple of solutions; maybe a checkbox in the patron edit screen under date expiry saying something like "Update due dates" or an admin setting sitting with ReturnBeforeExpiry that checks and updates due dates if the patron's dateexpiry is edited. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

The user expiry dates on our system are set/updated by the daily feed from our Active Directory so they are the date their IT accounts expire. It is usual if staff have outstanding annual leave that their last working day is before that date. So a config option to specify a value may be useful - e.g. if we wanted any due dates to be set at 14 days before the user expiry date to allow time for pre/overdue emails to run and we have a chance to contact the user before they leave. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
