             Bug #: 7588
           Summary: adding reserve restrictions after cataloging items can
                    cause non-holdable items to be picked for holds

When items are originally cataloged with an unrestricted item type and
subsequently edited to a restricted item type with a restriction of 'home
library' or 'No Holds,'  Koha treats the item as unrestricted and allows those
items to fill holds even after they are changed to a restricted
i-type...because they were unrestricted at the time the hold was placed.   

The work around for this is to 

1. make sure that your holdability rules are defined before you catalog items
and allow patrons to place holds.

2. catalog restricted item types as restricted from the very start.

I'm not sure how we can actually *fix* this bug, but I wanted to document the
workaround.
