[Holger Meissner]

Hi Eric,

thanks for your input! I will integrate your idea into the RFC.

I think my library needs this as part of the issuing rules, because we have certain patron categories that generally are to be automatically renewed. But other libraries might want to use the feature for individual patrons or even single checkouts. So it might be best to implement it both in the issung rules and on the checkout page?

Yes. Yet, some libraries might want to use different numbers, depending on how long the renewal period is, which might be days in one case and hours in another case. So I'm not sure.
