Katrin, 
I just saw your response when I came back to relook at this bug report. 

When you check in a local hold item from library A at library B, if a patron at
library B has a hold on it, a hold is triggered for a patron at library B. This
is unexpected behavior. Items with the local hold item type are only supposed
to trigger holds for patrons at the item's HOME library. 

I screencasted an example, but can't attach the video file here and also
realized I don't want all the patrons names exposed online, so I can't even
share the video file. 

The testing process: 

I set my home library to Leavenworth and checked in a Basehor local hold item. 
The process triggered a hold for a Leavenworth patron. 

The expected behavior should have been to trigger a hold for ONLY a Basehor
patron OR prompt the library to return the item back to Basehor. That behavior
has always been previously how local holds worked in the past on Koha. 

I am also attaching screenshots of the holds policy by item type for the two
libraries I was using to test this situation with. 

Please let me know if you need further detail for testing.
