Add multi-branch support to AutoSelfCheckAllowed
AutoSelfCheckAllowed is a useful system preference, but it really only works if you have 1 branch. Lots of libraries have multiple branches. We have a local customization to get around this but I don't love it. How do people think Koha could have multi-branch support for AutoSelfCheckAllowed? Of course, AutoSelfCheckID and AutoSelfCheckPass are a hack. But that's a topic for another day.

Hi David, did you see: *Bug 21250* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21250> - Auto-self-checkout not fully compatible with multi-branch library setup ? We found a workaround there using overwrites in koha-conf.xml, but there was definitely interest in having an easier solution. Hope this helps, Katrin On 22.06.21 09:02, dcook@prosentient.com.au wrote:

Tomas: I knew you were going to say that heh. Does the configurations table have a password field type available? Katrin: I hadn’t seen that one, but I’ll comment there.

Actually, what I was thinking was possibly adding a field to the “branches” table to specify a user to use, and not requiring a password. Of course, if you don’t require a password, someone could specify any user they want, so that won’t work either.
