[Koha-devel] RFC: Allow to reserve first available item from a group of titles

[Marcel de Rooy]

Perhaps (optionally) looking for the same title when placing a hold on the first ?

The main benefit of this feature is to not have to cancel manually each
other hold, and to avoid having a copy of each title being set to
"waiting for pickup" status at the same time, so I don't think I can
drop this.
But it can be interesting to know how you think we can make placing
multiple holds easier. Actually, what I do is:
- search
- check, check, check
- place hold link
- confirm
