Hi Katrin,

Holds can live on the system forever without being filled and we have customers
who want to manage this. A member of staff or a user can manually enter an
expiry date when placing the hold but if they do not, then the expiry date is
blank which means that the hold never expires. We have customers who ask us to
assign expiry dates to their holds. Then if they are not filled in that time
period, the hold will expire.

So yes what you say here "we would limit the holds to be only valid for x by
default..." is what we would like. I suppose it would be useful or the patrons
to see this information in their accounts.

Hope this makes sense!
